It will take me a good 2-3 weeks to be fully able to rate these shoes, however I will say that on day 2, they are beautiful, comfortable and after a speedy exchange for a bigger pair, I am quite satisfied with this purchase.  I have pancake-flat feet and recently rolled my ankle, resulting in great overall discomfort and foot pain that came from compensating for the injury.  Finding good shoes so that I can remain as active as possible is the goal.  These are doing that!  Very pleased with the price, packaging and the extra set of laces too.
