I was excited about the positive reviews and recommendations,  so even though  they did not have that instant "oh yeah" feel of comfort when I first tried them on I decided to give them a chance to "break in". After 2 weeks of wearing these for work I find I am disappointed with the fit and they have not lived up to all the praise they get.
These shoes were highly recommended for women who stand for work all day, which I do. They were praise for being great for people that struggle with plantar fasciitis, which I also do. After 2 weeks, by the end of the day I can't wait to take them off, I can barely walk, and my heel throbs with pain all night. The heel support of the shoe feels like it is compressing to become harder instead of providing cushioning.  It is also designed as a centralized cushion under the heal, like a bubble, that does not continue to the outside edge of the lining.
The size is not the best fit. I would normally wear a 7.5 wide. Because of all the recommendations to go up a size,  I ordered 8 wide. They are slightly too long. The width is a good fit, though a tiny bit narrow. As they have "broken in" my foot had begun to slip forward and back. These are slip on shoes so they can not be tightened.  They may be great if you use orthopedic inserts but I do not.  I did add some gel heal inserts the last time I wore them which helped a little.
I like the look of them but the inside cushioning and support does not meet my needs out of the box. They were a waste time and money. I will need to find more comfortable inserts or keep looking to find the right shoe for me.
