I had a pair of shoes similar to this that I literally wore out.  I have been looking for two years for ones to replace them.  These finally are close enough!  They have more room in the toebox and across the ball, so my feet and toes aren't squished, but still snug around the heel.  Great cushioning.  And with the removable insole, can easily put in my arch supports.  I want them in every color!
