Don't want to take them off, but soft soles for a hefty gal.

These shoes are so comfortable, I could sleep in them. After trying a myriad of other brands, thee were a welcome cushion. I am a heavy person so I wear out a shoe's bottom sole first. These are a bit soft in that department so i had to purchase a new pair of shoes before the usual amount of miles. They give me no other issues (no blisters, chafing, etc.) so I don't mind.
