I purchased these shoes based on the recommendation of a colleague who wears Sanita's all of the time and recommended them highly for comfort. These shoes are great if you are required to stand on your feet for long duration of time or have to do a good bit of walking on hard concrete floors. I am glad that I listened. I usually wear a size 10, but I ordered these shoes in a size 41. The fit is perfect. The comfort is absolute. The soles look virtually indestructible Great buy.
