I am a nurse and spend many hours on my feet. I stumbled across the K-Swiss Tubes in the clearance section of a local shoe store while looking for a shoe with more cushion. I have high arches and was told by my physician that when a person has high arches a shoe with more cushion as opposed to stability or even arch support is a better choice. The pair I purchased wasn't high on my list for looks but the price was right and they were very lightweight. The comfort and cushion in these shoes is outstanding! I have not even had to purchase a seperate insole insert for arch support because these shoes have so much cushion and support on thier own I have not needed them. My feet NEVER hurt even after a 12-13 hour shift! I LOVE these shoes and will continue to buy them for work and play! I'm so glad they have more styles and colors though because I don't like the color in the ones I have now but I SURE DO LOVE the comfort! You cant go wrong with K-Swiss Tubes!
