I absolutely LOVE the way these shoes feel when you put them on. I have to admit I am crossing my fingers and holding my breath that they do NOT split in the seams as I have had 2 other pair of the black O2 Sanita's do. These shoes are too nice & too comfortable for them to have a shotty manufacturing flaw such as this. This is unacceptable in the time that we live in.  Otherwise, I would recommend them for anyone who enjoys having your foot wrapped in both support & comfort. I wish I had worn them back when I was nursing.
