I work in retail management, so I am constantly walking a hard solid floor for 9 hours straight. I was looking for a lightweight, comfortable shoe with a good thick bottom to better protect the soles of my feet. I hit the nail on the head with the lightweight comfortability part. It's one of the most comfy shoes I've ever worn. Literally feels almost like wearing nothing. The bad part is, no sole support. These guys are really more for athletes & trainers who will be wearing for a short period of time while exercising or playing sports. If you're buying for those purposes it's a great shoe. If for support for an extended time. No!! ; )
