The Vomero is my favorite running shoe of all time. But now, I can also verify how great they are for tasks outside of running. I wear them at work as I'm on my feet up to 4 hours at a time. The cushioning is firm but comfortable, providing support and comfort all day long. I purchased a 2nd pair, and would have had a third pair if they weren't sold out! I feel like you can't go wrong with this shoe.
