My DoWins were pretty good shoes, I got almost 10yrs out of them before they came apart. I wish I had snagged a pair of the 1/2" heel ones when they were selling them.
I'm not a fan of the powerlift 4's I replaced them with. The 5/8" heel and price attracted me to them, but they have very compressible soles. There doesn't seem to be much out there with less than a 3/4" heel.
