I like these sneakers.  I have plantar faciitis that doesn't seem to be leaving me anytime soon.  I'm able to pull out the insole (only the toe is glued) and replace with my orthotics.  They are stylish enough and the gun metal color is just enough different from black.  The velcro makes them easy to put on and take off but it's a stylish velcro, not the velcro your grandmother wore.  They are light weight and comfy.  What more could you ask?
