I'm surprised at all the positive reviews, as I had a very bad experience with this shoe. Initially, it felt soft and comfortable, as if walking on air. But after a month, all the cushioning was gone, and the shoes felt as though I was walking on cardboard. Now I can't even walk a few blocks in these things. I guess I need more cushioning. I just use them now to slip on to take the dog out to do evening chores (a half block) or to walk in the garage. To me, if you walk a lot, you need a thicker and more durable sole than this shoe offers after the first month. These shoes were a big waste of money.
