I am 63 years old with peripheral neuropathy and plantar fascitis. Comfort is my goal but I don't want to wear ugly shoes! I ordered a size 9, which is my normal size, and YIKES are these tight! They're really cute, a may try ordering again in larger size. If they fit in a larger size I may change my rating. But if you wear a size 9 and you order a size 9 you will be sorry. Such is life. Return was easy.
