I was hesitant to buy this at first, I got it for a trip to disneyworld and it never disappointed me, having plantar fasciitis my feet esp. my heels hurts from wearing flats and walking all day, this shoes have thin soles and was comfortable. I wear it 3 straight days without my feet bothering me. I'm just surprised the price doubled coz I only got it for $25 after Xmas 2012.
