I was surprised at how comfortable this shoe is!  I have arthritis and bunions on my 67 year old feet and arthritic knees, so finding comfortable shoes is a real challenge.  I usually buy shoes closer to $100, thinking that better quality shoes will fit better.  Reading the reviews for this shoe encouraged me to take a chance, and I'm glad I did.  There is a nice layer of shock absorbency to help my knees and make the shoe very comfortable.  There is arch support, but not too much.  Not sure that there is much stabilization for pronation, but the laces go all the way to the ankle to make a very snug fit.  There is no slippage like I've found in other sneakers.  I love the wide toe box!  My bunion is so happy, with no pain, and I can wiggle my toes, a first for a sneaker.  The only thing that bothers me is that the leather squeaks when I walk, but I consider this a small price to pay for such a good-looking and comfortable shoe at an amazingly low price.  Hope this helps.
