I have a bad ankle, and had a hip replaced.  In truth, I've been wearing sneakers for several years.... so finding a shoe for my son's wedding was a more daunting task than finding the dress -- thought I'd have to wear my Pumas!  Visited multiple stores and tried on a hundred flats and wedges, and ended up barely being able to stand in most of them.  Down to reading reviews, and I ordered 5 pair of shoes online including this -- I had worn Dansko Professionals for years so I thought it would work.  It did not.  The shoe is well made and nice looking -- thus the 2 stars, and I could actually stand comfortably in them, but the heel kept slipping.  Perhaps a smaller size, not sure, but ended up with the Sketchers Parallel Trapezoid and a pair of Kenneth Cole Gentle Souls.  Two opposite ends of the spectrum, but both were actually as comfy as my sneakers.
