These are very comfortable shoes. I have them for almost a year now and I am very happy with them. I wear them almost every day.

I am a fan of Vivobarefoot's shoes, which have helped to resolve some long-standing pain in my arches and even have helped to reverse my hammertoes (to an extent). I wanted some shoes I could use while hillwalking in Ireland, and these worked. My only real complaint is that soles are more slippery than is comfortable on damp Irish hills. My own vain complaint is that these shoes look clunky from above (the wearer's perspective). Aesthetically, there's no optical illusion to help compensate for the wide toes!
