The shoes are comfortable and I can wear them all day.....that is if they didn't tear in several places. They tore in the fabric part of the shoe. Considering I only wore them 3 months when they began tearing I am more than a little disappointed (I am not rough with them). I've now worn them 9 months and we have 4 tears (two per shoe). However, I am wearing these at work - they were supposed to take me from office to lab, however wearing ripped shoes in the office makes me feel unkept. I guess I'll have to try another pair....$$$$
