These were bought for work on hard, cold, often wet floors. I walk at LEAST a few miles per day at work, as well as having to stand still on hard floors. These shoes are a big disappointment, and more money down the drain. They do not feel cushiony at all, and my feet hurt all day. The traction on the soles seems OK, but that's about it. If shoes hurt my feet, they are useless to me. Due to most footwear being now made in China of cheap materials and design, my quest for comfortable shoes seems to be futile, and I spend a fortune on them every year - hoping.... I do not have abnormal or huge feet; it's the shoes!
