I made the mistake when I was in nursing school to purchase a pair of Danskos because everyone said they were perfect. However, they were not perfect for me. By the end of the day in Danskos I had shin splints (as a previous poster states) and I also had issues with my heel on my right foot. I promised myself I'd never purchase another pair and i haven't. However, I found Asics are AMAZING and I wear them all the time, I have 5 pairs of them that I wear to work. 12 hours on my feet running around the ER and not a bit of discomfort or pain.
