I am a courtesy clerk at Stater Brothers and after two days of wearing these, I already know they are better than my old shoes. I can stand for long durations of time, get multiple carts, and run around the store without a problem. I have noticed that the material isnt the strongest, but that's a trade off for making them more flexible and easier to transport. I am so happy that I got these shoes and plan on getting them again once they are worn out.
