How can I relate how much I love these shoes? Basically, I got plantar faciitis in my mid-20's and convinced myself I could never wear heels again. After a couple years of PT and exercise, I bought my first pair of Tsubos (red suede, hot). I wore them all night (at my wedding). Years later I realized they are the ONLY heels in my closet that I can wear for any length of time. So I ordered these. Wore them out of the box to a conference where I was on my feet for two days and didn't even feel the need to change into flats when I went to the airport. Theses shoes are a lifesaver. I will continue to purchase them.
