I am an elementary school teacher whose classroom is outside the main building, in a portable. Therefore, I am walking at all times. On top of that, I have plantar fasciitis so my foot hurts terribly in most shoes. Not in these. These may be the single most comfortable shoes I've owned in my 17+ years of working. Well made, sturdy, attractive (for comfort shoes), true to size ( I ordered the 12N). I have a foot on the thinner side and really wear an 11 but ordered the 12 because I don't like heel hang. The narrow is perfect and the length is great. I wear with thick socks in winter and no socks in spring and either way they fit great. I would even suggest ordering a half size up if you plan on wearing with thick socks, just to give yourself extra toe room, with no heel overhang. The shoe gives great support, leaning more towards the firm than the cushiony side. I have worn every day for a year, and the shoe has yet to show signs of wear. Overall, great shoe.very comfortable, fit as expected
