I love this shoe. I have tendonitis in my achilles, so I must have a shoe with a slight lift. These fit the bill perfectly. The lift is just enough and the shoe is very comfortable. I wish I had read the reviews before ordering because the shoe does run a bit small, so order a a bit larger than you normally wear. They seem to run narrow too. My feet are narrow, so they fit me perfectly. One thing I don't care for is they have started to creek a bit with I walk. I don't really like my shoes making noise :)
