Having flat feet since birth, trying to find comfortable and attractive shoes is a constant nightmare. When you wear dresses and skirts to the office, you can't hide an ugly shoe. Just last night I was at a comfort/specialty shoe shop and tried on the few flats they offered from about 5 different brands. They. Were. Hideous. Straps, buckles, Velcro, crazy stitching, unnecessary appliques...you name it and it each pair had something obnoxious about them. I just want a classy, plain dress flats style. I left the shop feeling discouraged.

Then, these shoes I had ordered a few days ago arrived. Holy smokes. They are ideal! They are made well, have decent support, great arch support and comfortable foot bed...and they are pretty! I have my own 3/4 custom orthotics -- I have PTTD in both feet -- and the orthotics fit without having to remove the inserts/footbed that came in the shoe. I'm wearing the shoes right out of the box! Unless you suffer from lifelong feet issues and prefer classic shoe styles, you don't know what a find these are!
