I use them for work and being on my feet all day shoes are important. It makes me feel like I can jump a mile in the air and land gently on my feet like a kitten. The only downside is that they are a little tight on my toes and YOU MUST BE CAREFUL ON WET SURFACES. Seriously, ANY moisture on treads will cause them to slide right under you. If I can wear them for 6-8 months without changing soles, they will become my favorite work shoes for years to come. It would only be nice if they made a non-slip version.
