text: Although this shoe is not as comfortable as I thought it would be, it is somewhat comfortable but I had to buy a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear because the fit for this shoe runs small. In comparison of comfort for this shoe versus the Sketchers Counterprt (also runs 1/2 size smaller) with a gel-infused memory foam sole, it's not as comfortable as that shoe but I did decide to keep the shoes anyway.
