i strongly recommend you to own these shoes, (preferred with velcro) if you're in walking habits and/or your job requires to be on your feet long hours. i walk 4 miles a day on these shoes and i don't feel a bit bothered. these shoes are designed specifically to help your feet feel comfortable. you could stand on your feet or walk around in these shoes 24 hours a day with getting overwhelmed. i wear them as duty shoes. it gives a glazing shine when you put shoe cream on them. quality product.
