I bought these to replace my ASICS Nimbus runners.  Since I have transitioned from running to walking in the last year, I wanted to try shoes designed for walkers.  While they are not as comfortable as the Nimbus, they do offer more support.  I wouldn't recommend this shoe to anyone looking for a softer more flexible shoe.  Not sure this would be comfortable as an all day shoe, more of a "taking a walk on the trail" shoe.
