I bought these for my mother. She had major back surgery in March and sustained permanent nerve damage in her right leg and foot. She has lost muscle mass as well. She just received them while I was on the phone with her. She opened the box, put them on and was in love immediately. It is the first shoe that has felt really good on her feet since her surgery. She said the color was absolutely beautiful. So I am off to order a pair for me. Once again FitFlop has saved the day.
