I’m a college art teacher, and I have 3 long studio classes back to back that have me on my feet for 9+ hours straight on a hard floor without time to sit much. After reviewing what professionals like nurses wore, I opted for these. I’m over 50 and have had bouts of plantar fasciitis, and I have a small bunion. I got the wide size, and it’s worked well! My feet are much better than with my Dansko clogs (hurt bunion and sole too hard) or even my Topo sneakers (too soft for long term). I wear them w compression socks and that seems to stop heel slippage (an issue I often have). After trying so many other shoes and only finding discomfort, these are great solution!
