These are comfortable shoes. I think they are good value. I personally like the way they look, but to each their own. I have "flexible arches" or more commonly "flat feet" and am looking for a shoe that will handle them well. It's good. My only concern is that the insoles for my custom arch support will not come off easily. I think I could rip them out, but I doubt it. So far they have provided enough support to prevent this issue from becoming a deal breaker. If I end up trying to get them out I'll try to update this review.
