Athletic Works Women's Comfort Lace Up Sneaker, Wide Width Available

As a teacher who is on my feet all day, the need for comfortable and supportive shoes is important. Last year I paid $100 for specialized arch support shoes and these actually feel better on my feet! I'm a former ballet dancer with high arches, and finding good fitting shoes is always a struggle. These are also straight lasted which is great for wider feet or squared toes. I also appreciate that the laces have a slight texture to them so they stay tied. The soles grip well, even on the gym floor and do not slip. I'm going to get a set of these in every color.

Wore these every single day for a year. Good quality and comfortable with insoles. Did tons of exercise including running, aerobics, and lifting. They served me well. The soles eventually wore down. One toe wore through and the other split at the ball of the foot, but I knew they wouldn't last forever. Buying identical replacements.
