I have a 99 year old client that didn't want new shoes.  I had to tell him I was taking his old worn shoes to the shoemaker to be fixed to get him to try them.  He now is so happy with them he tells his caregiver daily that he is so happy with this shoes and they are very comfortable.  It actually has improved his ability to walk.  I am a Geriatric Care Manager and finding products for elders who won't go shopping is a challenge.  Thanks for this wonderful shoe!
