I've been wearing Easy Spirit and by the end of the day, my ankles are hurting.  These shoes are so comfortable.  I think they look like big boats (I wear a size 11), but I would certainly purchase them again!  I can't believe how comfortable they are.  Well worth the price!<br />[[ASIN:B006OSNMEI New Balance Women's WW665 Fitness Walking Shoe,Grey/Purple,11 D US]]
