While I researched this some before buying, I was mainly looking for a shoe that didn't make my feet look huge...vain, I know. But these are comfortable for everyday wear, if you are on your feet or for running. Little scary warning about just using them for running or for short periods of time if doing anything other than that...something about putting strain on other ligament and joints as they were not engineered for anything other than running. I've done zumba regularly in them and haven't felt any ill effects. I have a weak ankle due to a bad sprain so I strap that ankle up and it's fine (that ankle needs strapping regardless of shoe, the warning just made me actually do it).
