I am by no means the atheltic type. I am the girl who likes to wear 3 inch heals and pointy toe boots and skinny jeans and I have a hand bag to match every pair of shoes.  Over the years... my wild taste in shoes has done some damage to my feet. I have corns, dry heels,  and after a day of wearing high heels and narrow feminine looking shoes my big toes point slightly away from each other and my other toes kind of lean towards my big toes... it looks like i'm flexing my foot to point my toes even when I'm relaxed. I have to force my toes point straight forward and it hurts. I am also flatfooted... when some people walk with wet feet there are these cute little clearly HUMAN footprints. When I walk with wet feet.... it looks like a giant duck walked by. =(  I have never had a pair of sneakers that were truly comfortable... and I've tried a LOT of shoes (I mean... I am obsessed wi shoes) Nothing works. Some are comfortable for a while but eventually they hurt at the toe... or they hurt my middle toe... (which is longer than all my other toes) or sometimes across the top of my foot. Even shoes where I have no complaints.. if I do a lot of standing and walking... they begin to hurt where my arch supposed to be. On RARE occassions I've had some sneakers hurt the back of my foot above my heel. Anyway, these skeletoes... instantly... were a relief. I couldn't believe how comfortable they were. I just walked and walked and walked and walked.. and walked w/o a problem. Usually I think things like... oh thats way too far to be walking... or I don't want to carry these bags all the way up the stairs ... always  thinking about the pain my feet will have to endure... but seriously wi my skeletoes I had no pain... and It felt good to be able to do things... run...  speed walk.. climb flights of stairs wi heavy loads and not have to worry about my feet hurting.  ANother interesting thing is I notice lately when I take my shoes off... my toes are not slanted in any directions.. they point straight forward like they're supposed to w/o me forcing them. These shoes don't force your toes to slant inwards... just lets them be how they are naturally and its gr8. I will continue to wear these as much as I can.
