I purchased these shoes for an up coming trip that I knew would require lots of walking. It's the first time I have had a pair of shoes that didn't kill my feet at the end of the day. My husband and I spent 7 hours walking around Mexico City seeing the sights, taking the subway system everywhere. When we finally sat down on the plane, I couldn't believe my feet were not hating me. I highly recommend them. I have very hard to fit feet and these were great.
