Just got these a few days ago.....Wore out a pair of cheapy tennis shoes walking 3 to 5 miles a day for the last 5 months and wanted to upgrade. Read the reviews and boy was I wrong. The size runs small. The EE is closer to a D and absolutely no padding. OUCH. Like walking on concrete barefoot, even on the wood chip running path I walk on at the Park. These might be OK for a 5 ft. 100 LB. Girl, but no way for a big guy like me. I'm 165, 6ft 1in.....If you want a soft comfy shoe to walk in, get a good running shoe. I did. I went out and bought a pair of Brooks Linear. Paid $45.00 more than these from Amazon and well worth the Money, Honey. Like walking on Air compared to the Vasque. OUCH!
