I do a LOT of walking for my work and at the end of the day, my feet and legs do not feel like lead weights. I still have a bit of spring in my steps. They are comfortable, but you do have to get used to them. The first few times when I would lean back I felt I was going to fall over. You really don't have any more shoe, you have less of a heel.
I have a pair that look like Mary Jane's. They are easy to slip on and off at the airport and are my shoe of travel choice.
