I bought these in anticipation of a lot of walking during a scheduled vacation in the UK. It was my 1st pair of shoes from OluKai. I averaged 20,000 - 25,000 steps per day, including some magnificent hikes in the Scottish highlands. My feet never felt tired or fatigued. They were versatile enough for me to be the only pair of shoes on the trip because they looked as good as they felt and I could wear to indoor functions as well as outdoor hikes. Now that I am back they are my daily shoe for work where I log many steps on an aircraft ramp of solid concrete and my feet feel great! Fit was looser than I expected, but the cushioning was good enough that it didn't matter.
