What a blessing. These shoes were recommended by an older shoe salesperson (I was looking at other brands). Tried ‘em, and am I happy. I have four pairs of Propet now, two in the village walker style and two in the athletic styles. They’ve got lots of room and are very comfortable. I too spend a lot of time on my feet on hard surfaces. I walk a couple miles in the morning and then go to work. I couldn’t do this before because of pain and foot fatigue. Propet is all I wear now, what a difference. Foot support is excellent.

Most comfortable shoe, but has one issue. I bought the shoe because of comfort and light weight. The sole shows almost no wear, but it has one major issue. The sole cracked after the warranty expired. I contacted the manufacturer and they said since the warranty period was over they would not do anything. They also expressed no interest in investigating why the sole cracked. The issue is whether this was one bad batch or a common problem, but they were not interested in determining the cause of the problem.

Cracked soles - My first pair cracked at the ball of the foot after a year. My retailer replaced them at no charge though, it did take about three months to find another pair. My new ones I've been wearing since last summer, they've started to crack as well.

Cracked soul - I've owned two pair of Village Walkers. The second pair I bought over the internet. This pair was very comfortable. Both shoes, however, developed a crack on the sole in the area of the ball of the foot. Must be a design flaw.

Very comfortable shoe - I needed a dress shoe but have very wide feet and finally found one here that felt so good. I've worn it to work too. I will be ordering more.
