THESE SHOES WERE A GIFT TO SOMEONE WHO HAS FOOT PROBLEMS. SHE IS VERY PLEASED WITH THEM AND THEY HAVE GIVEN HER RELIEF.THEY SEEM TO RUN A LITTLE LARGE, AS AFTER ORDERING THE REGULAR SIZE, WE HAD TO EXCHANGE THEM FOR THE NEXT SMALLER SIZE. THE WORKMANSHIP IS GREAT AND THE QUALITY IS EVIDENT. AND THEY ARE NOT MADE IN A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY.
