I bought these shoes for my wife for Christmas but had to give them to her early. Partially due to her having arthritis and low arches in her feet. When she opened the box she was first overwhelmed with the looks but then when she tried them on she could not stop saying how much she loved them. She was in the process of getting orthotics for her feet but she now says that maybe these shoes would do the trick due to them being so comfortable. One thing though is that since she normally takes a 6-1/2 and these only come in 6-1/2 - 7, they were slightly loose. Our neighbor wares these and told her that they need to be a little loose. I guess because they do not bend like regular shoes or sneaker. If they were tight they would probably scrap against the back of here foot as she walked and the back of her foot raised up.

Shoes are still going strong and look like new and my wife still wears them around the house and everywhere else.
