I began my search for new tennis shoes with the standard high support variety. I have very high arches and have always been told that I need strong arch support. However, I have done the custom insoles route for most of my adult life, and my feet were getting worse, not better. Then I started informing myself about barefoot and minimalist shoes and decided to give it a go. I ended up ordering three different minimalist shoes off of amazon, and returned the first two. These were the third pair I ordered. I normally wear a size 9 1/2 or 10, but since many reviews stated to go up a size, I ordered a  10 1/2. Although very comfortable, my toes still hit the end of the shoe, and when I held them up against my old regular tennis shoes that are size 9 1/2, these were smaller. So I returned them and ordered a size 11. They are by far the best shoes I have ever owned. You can tell just looking at my feet and ankles when I wear them that the alignment is correct. I stand sturdy and grounded, unlike wearing insoles with arch support that tilted my feet outwards and left my ankles vulnerable to injury. I love thaty feet can breath and move in these shoes. They are comfortable enough to wear on long walks or just lounging around the house. I am considering ordering a second pair to stash in my closet for when I eventually need to replace these ones.
