These shoes provide the support I need, with a noticeable spine-aligning affect. Putting on these shoes makes me stand properly, and lines up my knees rather than allowing my feet to roll inward in over-pronation. I got them specifically to wear around the house because walking around barefooted had caused me to have sore knee ligaments and plantar fasciitis issues. I'm glad to have found these at a better price than what I could get locally.
