I recently completed the 3 Day Walk for the Cure. 60 miles in 3 days. I was told good shoes were important. Not one, but 3 pairs. I had already purchased 2 others before discovering R Realflex. It was like putting on a slipper. Although, it is a running shoe, I read reviews about people just wearing them all day. I bought them for walking. 652 miles of training! I love this shoe!! It is light weight and cushy.  This is imprtant to me because in the past I have had back trouble. Light weight is better for my back. I loved this shoe so much I bought a pair for each of my daughters too. I completed the 60 miles without blisters. They dry quickly. These shoes are washable. I have washed them twice. Just take out the inner sole. This shoe is totally worth the cost!!
