i work retail and this is the best comfort shoe ever.  I am on my feet all day and have worn Merrells, Birkenstock's and Joseph Seibels and these are by far the best.  I have a wide foot and a high arch and they are perfect.  I bought the orange color first because I liked the color and combination of leather/suede.  I wore them all summer and fall then bought the black and wore them on a tour of Australia, New Zealand.  We walked every where for three weeks and my feet never hurt.  They are pricey but well worth the money.
