these rocket dogshoes are great forlong distant walking. as i do a lotof walking about and standing up in my job, i found these very comfortable. although flats are good too, i would much prefer these. they are still high, but with a wedge (not heel)which is great.my feet dont hurt a lot and i can walk freely and comfortably in these. a nice causal style for everwhere and daily use, with nice colours to choosefrom,and at a reasonable price.
