I bought these for my wife she has a lot of trouble with her feet. This is the second pair of this brand (diffrent styles) I have bought her. At one point we bought a profrssional hard insole that was guarrunteed for 20 years cost $300 and it worked. But it was big and bulkie and we had trouble finding shoes both it and her foot could fit in and then our dog chewed them up after less than a year. So we took a chance on the first pair of this brand a year ago. I started out my wife could hardly walk in the morning when she got up or after she relaxed for a while after getting home from work. Then we got the sneakers and little by little her feet got better and after a few days it was a huge diffrence and after a couple of weeks no more pain in the morning. So this time we took a chance with the same brand but different style and she loves these as much as the first ones. What a difference they make we will stick to this brand for years to come and keep trying different styles. These are well worth the money just for the fact the pain goes away completely in time. Don't think they work overnight give them a couple of weeks before you past judgement on them. The is the same way those expensive insoles work we bought they tell you to wear them to start for a few minutes a day and then progressivly work your way uyp to 8 hoiurs a day after a few weeks. We feel orthaheel shoes are way more comfortable and do the same job with a lot less aggrevation.
