I work with a lot of computers in large labs where I have to bend over, walk about from here to there and occasionally, I walk to the restaurants close by. These shoes are the most comfortable shoes that I've ever owned. They do last a long time too. These are my second pair and I've had the second pair for about 5 years. I don't wear them every day, but when I do, I do feel the comfort when wearing them all day. Let's face it, the last thing you want to do is to change shoes while at work. That's a pain. Anyway, I've got my eye on another pair just like them and plan on ordering again.
