I bought these shoes for my waitressing job bc I spend hours on my feet and going up and down stairs while I'm at work.  I thought these shoes would be perfect for the job, but alas, they make my feet hurt soo much.  The problem is that the heel is cut low (understandably to make them easy to get in and out of).  Because the heel is cut so low, my toes and arch have to work harder to keep the shoes on my feet, and after wearing them for a little over an hour, my foot bones begin to throb.  I even got a size 9, when I normally wear a 10, but they still slip off easily.  I even tried the back of the ankle inserts from Dr. Scholls, but still they slip off.  I read that another customer uses them as house shoes....I guess I could do that, but what an expensive pair of house shoes.  They do have a nice cushion to them, but it doesn't really matter if my foot bones are aching.
