I needed some comfortable shoes for work and these worked great the first day on the job. I read other reviews and ordered them a half size smaller than normal. They do tend to slip in the heel, so I wore thicker socks. I may get some heel inserts if it bothers me.

Bottom line is there is cushion under the bottoms of the balls of my feet and I wore them all day, standing a lot. They are very comfortable and I will be wearing them a lot!
