This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned, and I have foot arthritis so good arch aupport is essential and this shoe has them.  The soft, impact teducing sole is also a huge plus. I don't agree with the person that says they run small - I think they run a little big actually.  I am a 7.5 US and purchased a size 38 (7-7.5) and I have them tightened to the end of the velcro, I plan to go down to a 37 for my next pair.
