I have problems with my foot (misdiagnosed fracture, surgery, pain every day) and can barely wear heels at all. I had my doubts about these, but was in need of new dress shoes. Not only were these amazingly comfortable, but they perfectly fit my very hard-to-fit,  long, narrow, feet! I danced for hours and was only in minimal pain (which happens regardless of the shoes, even sneakers). I might buy a few more pairs...
