I am an avid walker and have bought a number of brands of shoes over the years. When I was ready to replace my walking shoes I did research online to see what was being said about current good walking shoes with good support. I ended up ordering this pair of Skechers Go Walk Archfit shoes and I am extremely happy with the purchase! I highly, highly recommend them!! I typically buy a separate sport insole (for an additional $20-60+) but with these, I do not need to do that. No breaking-in period, just put 'em and start walking. The comfort is there, the support is there and I simply cannot say enough about them.
