A few months ago I broke my big toe on my right foot.  The pain me brought down into a pity pit full of tears and moaning. After some good meds and a healing process. I found wearing heels a problem. I couldn't but any weight on my big toe without screeching pain. I fell into wearing pretty thongs all summer. But here it is going into winter and I am still in thongs. I quickly searched my reliable Amazon for a solution. And there they were Aerosoles army croc black. I found them at steep discount. I hurriedly added them to my check out; 8 W.  When they came the cushion was so soft and the sole was in sections making it easy to bend when you ran about your errands. I put them on left foot first a little tight but bearable. But on my right foot my toe starting yapping. I was so disappointed but fear not I am keeping the shoes. A trip back to the doctor and it was discovered I had developed Gout along the fracture of my toe. I don't blame the shoe the cushy goodness does my foot good. With proper nutrition and medication I can now wear my shoes and put away my thongs. They are kind of shiny patent leather but the cushion feels so good. If I buy them again I will go up 1/2 size to compensate for my bad toe. I wish they had double wide!
