I am a Respiratory Therapist and work 12 1/2 hour days, 4-5 days a week. These are for sure the best shoes!! From the first shift until now 3 months later. I am on my feet all over the hospital at least 10 hours of my shift. The cushion around the back ankle area is super soft and the support and cushion on the inside was great for my high arches. Definitely recommend these! love love love them!!
