Comfortable and classic.  This is my second pair and I have  found them to be a very comfortable walking shoe. Great for travel.  I have waked all over European cities in them.  The versatile, classic style works well with skirts, slacks, jeans, ----- from farmers markets to the opera.  Light weight for packing is a plus!  I have high arches so I can't say they provide good arch support for me, but they may for others.  My feet are never sore at the end or the day. I will buy them as long as they make them!
