As a teacher I am always on my feet.  I have worn Dansko's for years, but these fit me better, are more supportive, and honestly, look nicer.  I have gotten compliments on them every time I wear them.  They are narrower than danskos, so if you have a wider than average foot, you may want to try them on first.  They do feel weird to walk in at first (at least for me) but somehow they improve my posture, and I've noticed my knees and lower back aren't as achy at the end of a long day.  Another nice feature, when the footbed wears out, you can buy a new one instead of having to buy a whole new shoe.
