Best shoe for arch support I've ever worn.  I like Danskos but they are heavier and wider than these.  I have so many foot problems: hight arche on my right foot, but not my left.  Plantar Fasciitis on right foot but not my left  Swollen ankle from a tendon tear years ago has come back to haunt me, again on the right foot.  So obviously I must buy for my right foots comfort.  These fit well and are comfortable.  I can stand all day (which is sometimes part of my job) and I never had to break them in, fit right out of the box.  Love these shoes  I'm going to buy Patagonia'a canvas sneaker next time.  Addendum to  first review.  The soles cannot be repaired.  Or at leas I haven't found anyone who could do so. After one year they are now my bedroom slippers
