These are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever bought. Like walking on air, and the uppers do not pinch or rub anywhere. I have very awkward feet, as a bunion on my right foot,causes most shoes to put pressure on it. A bonus is that they are also washable. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. I thought that they were expensive for a fabric shoe, but now know that they are worth double for the walking comfort.
