Being a diabetic, I have extremely sensitive feet. I bought these shoes from CA just before moving to Rome where a lot of walking is required. Never before have I been able to go a whole day on my feet without having painful toes and heel blisters, but these shoes are really remarkable! I have tried so many comfort shoes such as Clarks and Bjorn etc and high end shoes such as Bally and Hush Puppies and they were all comfortable for a while but NEVER for an entire day of walking. These shoes knock everything out of the park. I loved them so much that I ordered another pair and had my friend bring them to Italy for me. I intend to get another pair via another friend in the near future, simply bcos I can never run out of these shoes!
