This is a great daily walking shoe.  They are somewhat more expensive than some other walking shoes, however, based on comfort and build quality, they are well worth the investment.  It's worth noting that these shoes will require a "break-in" period.  The first couple of days were not real comfortable, but now they are quite comfortable.  Also, Road Runner Sports (the vendor for these shoes) called right after I received the shoes to make sure the order was what I expected and asked how I like the shoes.  Surprising (in a good way) to see this appreciation of good customer service these days.  I highly recommend them.
