I work retail, and these shoes are the best!  An 8-10 hour day with barely an ache.  I rush all day and I have had $200 shoes that are not as good to my feet.  They do take a bit of getting used to, and switching shoes once or twice a day for a week broke them in for me, but others I work with said they did not do so.  I don't feel comfortable in them standing still though(like when I get on a register for extended periods).  Hope this helps you hopefuls!  Great walking or running shoes.
