These shoes are so comfortable you can put them on new the first day and wear them almost the entire day. They are the best shoes I have found at an economical price. These shoes truly have enhanced stability and superior shock absorption featuring ABZORB. The Abzorb really makes a difference for me. They also hold up well. I suddenly realized that mine were going on a year old and my feet were hurting.  Amazon is a great site to shop from also!
