I've had these shoes for a little over a month now and am planning to purchase another pair.  I can't say enough how pleased I am with these shoes so far.  I am in the nursing profression and work a lot of long, fast paced shifts so comfortable shoes are extremely important to me.  When shopping for this last pair of shoes I probably had tried on at least 30 pairs of shoes and was about to give up when the salesgirl brought these to me.  I wasn't crazy about the color but when I put these shoes on I was sold.  The soft mesh toe is very comfortable and the arch in these shoes is just right.  There was no "break in" time, they were very comfortable right from the start.  Traction is good except for rare instances on very slick, wet floors.  I usually buy a half size bigger when I buy my nursing shoes but there was no need to do this with these.  I bought the size I normally wear and they were comfortable right from the start.  I would definitely recommend these shoes.
