Pegasus Trail 3 Gore-Tex^® Waterproof Sneaker (Women)

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep these shoes. When I saw them online I thought they looked nice and when I received them in the mail they looked nice in person. I was scared that these shoes would disappoint me. I have had many shoes that are comfortable for about an hour or two then my feet start hurting. I asked my friend who is a sneaker head what he thought and he told me to keep them. I work a job that requires me to stand for 8 hours per day 5 days a week so there’s a lot of pressure on my feet and legs especially because im 5’6 and around 247 pounds. I’ve had Brooks Ghost shoes that I tried to wear all day and they were so uncomfortable after an hour causing me a lot of pain. I’ve had Asics magic speed shoes and I had the same experience. When I wore the Gortex shoes yesterday I brought pain relievers to work just in case these made my feet hurt after standing for a little while. I was VERY VERY pleased with this shoe. My feet were examined at Fleet Feet recently and my left foot is a size 9.1 and my right foot is a size 9.3. I’ve always noticed my right foot feels tighter in shoes than my left foot but when I try on a 9.5 in shoes they are just too big for me to get used to. The first day (yesterday) I wore the Nike Gortex and it was raining outside. My feet did not get wet at all. Yesterday was the first day in a long time where I stood for my full 8 hour shift without having to sit down for a few minutes every couple of hours. These shoes supported my flat arch and wide feet just fine. After standing for about 7 hours my feet started to ache but it wasn’t unbearable pain like I normally have. But I was also comfortably shifting the weight on my feet back and forth while I stood during my shift. I’m really hoping the experience I had when wearing them yesterday continues. A few weeks ago At Fleet Feet when I had my feet examined they suggested I buy a pair of Hoka Bondi 7’s and I did. Although the Hoka’s give me a little more toe room (even with my size 9) to fit my feet completely, I wore them the day I got them while I walked around for hours outside and my feet were slightly aching after about 2 hours and I knew there might be a problem after about 4 hours of standing. I am debating on sending the Hoka’s back and getting another pair of Gortex but I don’t know if I just need to break the Hoka’s in. But from my experience the Nike Gortex were so much supportive than the Hoka’s. The only shoe that I had ever had that gave me all day comfort like I was walking on a pillow was the UGG sneakers CA805. I was looking for the UGG sneakers in the color black everywhere but I couldn’t find them anywhere (I need wear all black shoes for work). I was so upset I couldn’t find the UGG CA805’s in black because they are truly a work of art. These definitely came in at a tie. The only thing about the CA805’s is that I wore them for a good 6 months constantly for work before they started leaning and felt worn out because they didn’t feel supportive on my feet anymore. I don’t know if other customers can comment on this review but if you can please tell me your experiences. But yes, my first day wearing these my legs and feet felt supported and the aching pain was very minor (towards the 7th hour of my shift)
