I got these when I was 5 months pregnant. My heels started killing my feet and my ankles started to get weak. They are great!! I wear them 3 or 4 days a week. I think they have really helped and stopped me from having the back issues so many prego's get. I highly recomend these. There is only one issue I have had with them, if the inside of the shoe gets the least bit damp they rub blisters on my heels. This happens to me a lot because I live in Atlanta and it's summer. I don't know a single person who can wrap their feet in rubber in 105 degree heat and their feet won't sweat a little. This is why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5. They are increadably comfortable shoes but invest in bandaids in the summer.
