My husband talked me into these, which he has been using for years. I am pleased that they are made in the USA. They are the most comfortable shoes I own. No blisters, which I am very prone to. On our most recent trip to Disney World, I took these and my feet have never felt better there. When I took the shoes off at the end of the day, my feet were tired but didn't hurt. They are expensive, but well worth it. Originally I had the gray ones, which admittedly, I think are ugly, but these navy ones are a bit better. You won't care what they look like once you try them.
