This is a buyout considering my first pair was from a local store. The best shoes I've ever had. You can wear them all day and don't have to worry about pain. I heard about it from people who use them in the casino and stand all the time. I have had my predecessors for over 3 years now. Even though I have a wide foot, the regular ones seem to fit me just right. I use them both for work and for everyday life. Highly recommended.
