I love these shoes. I wish I had known her years ago. I have 2 pairs, one is half a size bigger so I can wear socks in winter and the other pair I wear bare feet and my feet don't smell. They are soft and comfortable. I walk and run about 200 miles in a pair that I wear with no socks. No blisters and rubber outsole with no signs of wear. Make no mistake buying $40. The best shoes I've ever bought.
