When I first got these I put my orthotics in and they felt very comfortable and sturdy. Yet when I walked in them the shoe falls flat and and slows my stride. My brother asked if there was something wrong with me because I was "walking funny". I put the original insets back in and it improved only slightly.

These shoes might be just right for someone with a different gait, but I think I'm going to figure out how to shave some edges down to make my foot land more comfortably.
