The shoes were comfy enough when I first put them on but unexpectedly had to walk over 3 miles when my bus didn't show and ended up with huge bloody blisters on back of foot...there is part of the shoe that is plastic and rubs against foot if you don't wear socks.  They are okay for just running around doing errands but are NOT good for long walks.  I bought them because I loved another pair of Sketchers that were all cloth (even on back) and are so comfortable.  But be careful to see if there are any hard plastic or leather parts that might rub your foot.  I would not buy these again, but would look at other Sketchers styles.
