These are probably the most comfortable and supportive shoes I have ever owned.  They fit just right-not tight or loose and the sole is very supportive.  I have narrow feet but these fit fine.  Even sitting they are comfortable because it feel like the sole is supporting my feet even when I am not standing.  I have been wearing them about six months and they appear to be very durable much more so than tennis shoes and therefore worth a higher price.  Hiking shoes are more durable and supportive than tennis shoes.
