I walk quite a bit every day (more than four miles) and sometimes walk much more on weekends. These shoes are the most comfortable ones I've owned. They're very light, they breathe well, and they lace up quickly. I originally sized half a size up, and while the shoes felt good,  the back of the shoe bit my Achilles tendon when I walked. I had QUITE a blister going the first time I tried them. So, I swapped them out for a whole size up and those are perfect with thick socks (which I wear anyhow). I need good support under the ball of my foot, and these are VERY supportive. And yet there are no strange lumps and bumps in the foot bed. It's also super easy to adjust the laces, unlike many hiking shoes where you have to spend 30 minutes unlacing them and relacing them. I don't think about my feet at all when I walk! The wine color is also cute and these even look nice with a pair of jeans. I've worn them in dusty, dirty environments and the suede brushes right off. They could only be better if they looked good with a skirt and I could wear them to work!
