I work as a cashier and these shoes are comfortable and easy on my feet. My toes are not rubbing or pinched, my arches are supported... I love the shoes. I didn't know if I should get an 8 or 7.5 because in some shoes, a 7.5 might be just a little too short, but not this time. The 7.5 is just right. I didn't even have to break them in.
