I like the shoe for the purpose I purchased them, which is to wear them to school. I place an arch support in the shoe and wear them while in school and during clinicals. They are a soft shoe that allows my foot to breathe. I have attempted to wear these shoes to go walking in outside, but personally, they do not give my foot any support, due to the cloth nature. When walking for exercise, I need to have a tennis shoe that has a little bit of rigidity to it.
