These shoes are amazing!  I received them two days before leaving on a vacation to Disney-Orlando.  Without a break-in period, I was skeptical I could wear them comfortably, but they surpassed my expectations.  Fit as well as my well-worn Nike's and kept me going all day while on my feet and pushing a wheelchair.  At the end of the day, my back, legs, and feet weren't sore and aching and they felt just as good the next morning.  I wore them the entire length of my stay and can't believe the superior performance and cushioning they provide.  Normally I wouldn't buy a black athletic shoe, but these were well designed with bright blue accents and come with both black and matching blue laces for different looks.  I urge anyone at any age to buy a pair.  The best money you'll spend!
