I am a professional baker and chef, on my feet 18 hours a day.  The kitchen has flour, water, sugar on the floor and can get rather slippery.  I own very expensive chef shoes which I found after a few hours were too hot.  I decided to try these skechers and I LOVE them.  yes, they are a little stiff but is WHAT YOU NEED for support.  They are SO comfortable, do not get hot, do not slip around, even on a wet floor, and have kept their shape!  I plan on buying another pair!
