I bought these because my husband has some and nagged me into buying a pair. I've always loved the way his look on his feet but I also needed a shoe I could adjust the fit. My one leg and foot swell regularly (not due to a blood clot, I got checked) and so I bought these cuties at a good price. I will say that while they ARE comfortable, they lack any arch support. They are cute and fun and functional. That's a pretty good start!
