For too long now, I've tried to get by with less expensive shoes for work (I have to dress at least business casual.) I finally broke down and got 2 pairs of these shoes (I use to wear Nunn Bush almost exclusively.) The old addage about "you get what you pay for" still applies. The shoes are just great, comfort my foot all day long (I do a lot of walking around in our office complex), and it's hard to believe how lightweight they are considering the amount of support they give me. No more pain or discomfort.
