If you are on your feet a lot and also do a lot of walking this is a good shoe for that. I have to walk all day at work on hard tile floors and I need a good shoe that absorbs that shock when your foot hits the hard tile all day. The heal area of the shoe cushions that shock with its good design. Consumers reports magazine also rated this shoe very good.  I would have rated it higher but I think the price is a little high for $89.00 .
