I do like these shoes. I feel like they provide the cushion I need to take the shock and pressure off of my hips from walking on concrete surfaces. I recently was on vacation, where I did my share of walking, and my hips never hurt once. I also have done some hiking about 1.5 miles and again no hop pain. The hike was on dirt and not concrete. The shoe has a nice wide you box. The shoe snug around the top of my foot, and I had to loosen the laces for comfort. All in all, I like the product, and I will buy it again.
