I started working in a hospital 6 months ago and little by little the discomfort in my fret has been increasing. At first I thought sneakers would be good enough to wear but after much thought, searching and feet pain, I decided to order these shoes. The hundreds of amazing reviews convinced me and I was so exited when I got them. One of the reviews even mentioned how these shoes had helped with heel and back pain. These shoes are beautiful, I ordered the purple and I loved the color. Also they look extremely well made. The problem came when I actually put them on. These shoes have no cushion at all and are very hard. The day I received them I was off so I decided to wear them around the house to see how comfortable they were. After 2 hours I could not believe how much my feet were hurting, I kept them on and finally I had to take them off as I couldn't put up with the pain anymore. My sneakers might not keep the pain away but at least they are soft and do not add discomfort. I am just so confused how these shoes could get such great reviews. I must conclude its me instead of the shoes? This is my first time buying this type of shoe so maybe people are already used to them? I don't know, all I know is that for over $100 I expect my shoe to make me feel like I'm walking on a cloud.. These were one of the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. So sad :-(
