I purchased these shoes to wear while I was working two jobs, on my feet all day at both. One, doing stock at VS, involves lots of lifting, carrying, pushing tables and drawerbases, going up and down ladders, and other activities that you want your feet covered and in comfy shoes for. The other, hostessing in a tiny restaurant that was not large enough to properly accomodate the hotel it was situated in, involved walking/running around constantly as I seated people, found the servers, helped run room service, etc. I would often go from one job to the other, and since I have bad feet and an even worse back, I needed good shoes.

I would often be on my feet for 14+ hours a day, with much less pain than normal, or even expected. My feet hurt less, my back hurt less. Just putting them on feels good, they're a very comfortable shoe. The mesh uppers make them lightweight and breathable.

One con - The mesh wears thru quickly. I have wide feet, mainly in the toe area. My toes look like they're all too big for my foot, and my small toe flares out to the side. This spot on the shoe wore thru in 3 months. That could be fixed by purchasing a wide, but there's more. The spot where my big toe bends up and rubs as I walk wore thru in 4 months. I'm not sure how I could fix that. I ended up buying a second pair, which lasted about the same amount of time. I bought both from JCP, and got a good deal, spending $60 on them when they're normally much more, but that price isn't worth a shoe that doesn't last longer than a few months. If there was a way to avoid the wear at the top of the shoe, where my big toe comes up, I'd buy a wider size and keep wearing them, but I can't think of a way to do that.
