Well I just got a pair that I ordered off amazon, been wearing them around the house. The sole is not bad, a step up from clarks desert boot and most dress shoes i've had. It's about on par with air force 1 for compression, so I'm okay with them. Nothing amazing but they're wearable, I think they'll be good for long days when I need support.
