I can't say how many pairs of these Jambu's I have. I buy them whenever I see a good deal. My old feet are so sensitive that it hurts to walk barefoot on hard floors. These shoes are just right for running around. They are NOT walking shoes and if I'm going to walk long distances, I don't wear them. That said, they are extremely comfortable for puttering around and going on errands. I do love them, but hate to pay full price.
