There are some good things and bad things about these sandals.

Good: I was having some persistent pain in the ball of my foot and the combo of a few sessions of wearing these toe spreading sandals at home/not wearing heels seems to have fixed it. Hard to say for sure.

Bad: Realistically, these are not going to be outside shoes for me bc they somehow work their way forward on my foot. I wore them out yesterday and had to stop to pull them back on several times. Maybe this will somehow break in if I have the patience to keep at it.
