I tried wearing these to work; I ordered a half size bigger than I would normally get. The toe area is too narrow even though I ordered this in the wide. The good news is that my feet, ankles, knees were not hurting after 5 hours of wear. The problem? My toes were very sore! I was very glad I took an extra pair of shoes to change into. I really wish companies would get that our toes need to not be rubbed or pinched! I think these will be great work shoes once the toe area relaxes and quits pinching my toes--especially my pinky toe. I will update this review after some time has passed and the shoes are no longer new.  Here's my update. Do Not buy these shoes unless you want to ruin your toes! After almost a year, I threw these in the trash in disgust. They never relaxed and caused so much pain in my toes that I almost couldn't walk. Don't waste your time or money on these shoes.
