The customer ratings speak volumes.  Yes, this is a comfortable and highly functional shoe.  Yet, I had never seen the Propet brand in any shoe store, and that includes several states.  I first became aware of this brand on Amazon.  thank you, Amazon!  This was the first Propet I ordered and since then, have ordered several more.  However, I do wish that all the colors in all sizes were available.  I would be purchasing more if that becomes the case.
