I get really sore feet very easily these days (middle age is cruel), and I'll be honest, I didn't expect I would be able to wear them for more than a couple of hours at a time. But boy! Was I wrong or what!? They are the MOST comfortable shoes and I have no problem walking in them all day. I no longer am a slave of boring trainers and I can now join the ranks of cool mummies at school with their cool footwear! I LOVE my new shoes and will definitely be getting more! Thank you Avarcas!
