i have a hard time finding shoes that don't hurt my feet. i've taken to having to walk laps in my crocs because of my flat feet. i tried on A LOT of shoes from all brands and these were the only ones that i KNEW wouldn't bother me while i walked. i always have to just grin and bear it with shoes...not these. the shoes are light and very flexible! i will definitely buy another pair in another color. the only minor gripe i have is that the laces are super long! i like that there were two color choices of laces included. perfect shoes for me.
