I was very skeptical about purchasing these shoes at first, but after reading all of the reviews I thought I'd give it a shot.  I bought a size 9 (1/2 size larger than my regular 8.5) and they fit perfectly.  The velcro strap was a little too short at first, but after wearing the shoes for a few days it stretched a little and now it sits exactly where it should.  I was concerned that I would have issues with the velcro strap coming undone while walking, like so many other reviews had mentioned, but I have not encountered that problem yet.  The first day I tried the shoes on I walked around my house for a few minutes and then I wore them to work the next day.  My ankles were a little sore after the first day because they seem to ride high on your ankle until you break them in.  The next day I wore them to work and they were fine and did not hurt my ankles.  I have very sensitive feet and these shoes did not give me blisters on my heels like most shoes do, just remember to break them in slowly for the first few days.

I've had these shoes about a month now and I love them.  I sit at a desk 8-10 hours a day and I've noticed a major improvement in my posture and just an overall better feeling.  I suffer from severe migraines and when I where these shoes I don't get the headaches that I usually did on an almost every day basis.  Last week I wore them 4 days in a row and on the 5th day I wore my regular flip flops and I felt fatigued, tired, I had a migraine, and my back hurt.  I don't think these are miracle shoes, but they definitely help me to feel better.  Now I just need to find some cute Shape-ups sandals!
