These shoes are lousy. I ordered them thinking I'd be someone giving this shoe a 4-5 star review. Wrong. These shoes don't hurt immediately but they hurt after an hour of wear. I work retail and am on my feet for several hours a day. These shoes are horrible for standing, walking or anything else that involves movement. If you're going to go from car to desk these are the shoes for you! If not, steer clear of them. They're the worst. I wore them and removed them after an hour but sadly cannot return. I'm stuck with these foot torture devices. If you want comfort shoes stick to Dansko's!!
