I bought these because most athletic shoes really bother my bunion, and I thought these would be perfect since the fabric allows the shoe to conform to my foot. After using them a couple times, I noticed that my feet would start sliding inwards while walking, so it would feel as if I was slipping off the shoes completely. To add to that, I showed these shoes to my podiatrist, and she immediately said that as an overpronator, I should not wear shoes like this because it will offer my feet no support. No thanks. Returned these quickly after that.
