I am 54 yrs and a Medical person and I have much feet pain (metatarsaligia). I have heard about this brand and never wanted to wear these because they really aren't a PRETTY shoe....but since the pain can be so debilitating I thought I would try them and I AM VERY PLEASED about how comfortable they are and has helped my feet pain. There is a breakin period of about 18 hours. I have 3 pair now and had to give most of my other shoes to the Goodwill. Really, foot pain peoples should give them a try :-) I am glad I did :-)
