I am a brisk walker, averaging 2-1/2 to 3 miles per day. Shoes initially felt good, but lacked arch support. Several weeks later, after wearing these shoes almost exclusively, I developed painful Plantar Fasciatis (I have not had that before.) A PF insert eventually helped. Then, the stitching around the front toe area of both shoes began to unravel, although the shoes held together. I would not recommend this shoe.
