"I needed some athletic shoes for an upcoming hike/walk and these were so cute but looked sturdy and comfortable at the same time. After wearing these for a while I can see that they will be great for walking, working out, hiking, and much, much more. They are very comfortable and well padded (not too firm or too squishy) but a bit narrow, which actually works to my benefit, as I have narrow feet. I would definitely recommend these shoes!"
