I spend a fortune on shoes that I wear for 2 days and find out that they make me ache all over.  I have degenerative joint disease and diabetes, and almost every shoe either gives me blisters, rub spots, and/or causes back, hip, and foot pain.  Clarks in general have always been my best bet as far as comfort, but I'm finding that I need a little more support than the mules provide.  So, I gave these a try.  I told my husband I was going to get "official old lady shoes".  Today is the first day I've worn them (they arrived yesterday).  I don't ever want to take them off.  My toes aren't even spasming or aching!  Love love love love love these shoes!
