i thought this was my dream shoe when it arrived - slipped on easily, had good support, and chose to wear them to a craft show where i was on my feet for two hours walking around.  I found that they are too high on my foot, and caused things to swell there that should not be swelling up - am not over it yet and that was a week ago.  it is tempting to take the scissors to them and try to cut those sides down a bit but am sure that would ruin them.  i should have sent them back, but had worn them for two hours.
