I have gout and really needed a good shoe that wouldn't hurt my feet. This has a great insole and makes my feet feel cushioned. My feet don't bother me nearly as bad since I've started wearing these shoes. I wear them 1/2 the time and another pair of Sketcher go walks. I got these at a great price because of the color, that I love anyway. Different colors had different prices which surprised me, so make sure to check on that especially if price is an issue.
