I have terrible feet - arthritis is my toes and terrible aching in my feet if I have to be on them for any length of time. I just got back from Disney/FL (8 days)- and LIVED in these shoes - didn't even take out my other 2 pairs of sneakers. These were life-savers for me - greatly reduced my pain and kept me mobile and able to keep up with m husband and daughter - no hobbling after a full day :-) Last time we went, we ended up renting a wheelchair - my feet are that bad. I just got done writing to AVIA about my experience with these wonderful shoes - not just for toning!
