Very comfortable. I got them for an upcoming trip which will involve a bit of walking. So far they seem like a great choice.

These shoes are horrible. I bought these hoping they would make my feet feel better after wearing out my old work shoes, but they feel worse, much worse. In fact my whole lower body started hurting since I started wearing these, but it's too late to return them after wearing them to work to find that they are awful. So I'm stuck until I have more money to spend on expensive shoes that may or may not work out.

Absolutely the most comfortable shoes ever. I opened up the box and put these shoes on and it felt like someone had already broke them in. I have a lot of trouble with my feet so it was a relief to find some that are so comfortable. I thought New Balance was the only shoe for me till I got my Spira's. They will be the only one for me from now on. Well worth the money.

These are not bad shoes, and they have some very good points, but I am not as impressed with them as I expected to be from the description. The good: *The toe box is nice and wide, and it's high enough to fit real toes on a wide forefoot without cramping. *They are deep enough to accommodate custom orthotics. *They are supportive. *The all black styling makes them subtle enough to wear to work (office environment) on days when my knees demand supportive shoes. The not-so-good: *They really do not seem all that springy and they are definitely not cushiony in the heel area. The stride in these feels a lot harsher than it did with my previous non-Spira walking shoes. There is not much lift in the heel. That can be good if you have thick orthotics that you need to fit in, but otherwise, the heel counter rubs rather badly. (At least, it did on me.) *For me, the tongue of these shoes leaves the top of both feet red and swollen, even through thick socks. I had to put moleskin on the underside of the tongue to prevent this. I don't know if it's a different material than the rest of the shoe or if it's the pressure, but be careful if you have high insteps and/or sensitive skin. The forefoot comfort and the fact that my knees don't hurt are important enough that I've kept these and made the necessary adjustments to compensate for their flaws. Don't get me wrong, they are good shoes- they are just not the answer to every need that the manufacturer's ad copy would suggest they are.

I really love these shoes. I put them on and they were perfect right out of the box. Good enough arch and heel support that I do not need my orthotics with them. I will definitely buy more. I did buy a half size larger than usual and am glad I did. The toe bed is marvelously wide, which means that I do not need a W width. The shoe does not slide around at all, love them.
