I love these shoes! They have a thick memory foam bed, wide toe box, and very light weight. I add a pair of $6 Doctor Scholl 3/4 arch supports because I have planter fasciitis, and then they are perfect! You do need to add a half a size with all Ryka shoes. I wear a 7 so I buy 7.5. Ryka shoes are also made with a smoother sole so you don't torch your knees when you twist or turn. Smaller heel keeps your heel well cushioned and not slipping. They are my number one shoe and you cant beat a great shoe for $30! Or $36 if you want to try the supports! ;)
