These shoes are very cute. But the foot pad/arch support ("curves and pods footbed") was shockingly uncomfortable. I like strong arch support and the actual ARCH support was fine. However, there is an additional "mound" just in front of the arch, just behind the ball of the foot, that at first seemed weird but then in about a minute was actually painful.  Maybe there are some people who like that, but I've never experienced it in any shoe and I can't imagine it being comfortable. Since there would be no arch support if the entire "footbed" were removed, and because I imagine the footbed contributes a lot to the cost of these not-cheap shoes, they're going back.
