My feet were hurting.  I mean really hurting to the point where it was a painful experience to walk a couple of blocks.  Since I purchased these, I've been able to build up to walking about 5 miles at a time in the city.  They took a little getting used to, and I notice my gait is a little different, but I guess that is a good thing.  These are really well made, look like they'll hold up for a long time.  I really didn't care for the silvery accents when I first got them, but the style kind of grows on you, don't let that stop you from buying them.  The best part of these are they are really light, the second most lightest pair of shoes I've ever owned.

I about choked at the price, but they are worth every penny, I hate to wear anything else.
