I work in retail and am on my feet at work for 40-45 hours a week. These shoes are amazing! I have zero foot pain at the end of my day. My only complaint is that they wear out quickly. Granted, I do wear the same shoe every day, but for the price I would have expected them to last more than 5 months before the inside lining tore and the rubber on the toe peeled off. Overall though, to have zero foot pain at the end of the day, they are worth it!
