I've never quite understood the argument that shoes with stiff soles are uncomfortable to walk in, if the shoe is otherwise a good, comfortable fit. Some might prefer the feel of flexible soles, I guess, but combat boots and many hiking shoes have very stiff soles and yet are obviously designed for extended walking.
