Finally a walking shoe that doesn't make me want to cry at the end of my 5-miler.  I'm an avid walker with bad feet.  I usually power through and then feel like I'm walking on bruises by the end of my walk.  These shoes have an adequate amount of cushion, give in all the right spots, and didn't take any time to break in.  I think I'd have to have new feet surgically implanted in order to find the "perfect" shoe, but given my aversion to surgery that's not likely.  These are really close to perfect and I intend to buy another pair.
