I've been trying to love these shoes for almost a year. I did a little research and figured this is the shoe to get if you're going to be on your feet all day. NO! These shoes are made of quality material, but they are so heavy and stiff (yes, after a year) that I can still feel Frankenstein stomping in them. The soles are probably hard concrete because that's what my foot feels like. They don't hurt my feet, but they are anything but comfortable. Get a fluffy pair of Sketchers every few months and forget all the fuss about those blobs. NOT worth the price.
