I was a little skeptical of these shoes as some had commented about the toe thong being bothersome.. but Im used to wearing something between my toes so that was not an issue.. these shoes are SO comfortable and feel like they put my back in a good position for walking.. they are squishy under the ball of your foot and are very well made.. best part is the adjustable velcro strap to fine tune fitting. I just ordered another pair in another color!
