the back of the shoe seems like it might someday lose shape as it crunches and does weird things when i use a shoe horn to put these on everyday.  they are cloggy and make loud noise on the office floor.  after a while, they can be worn in, but require time and patience to do so.  even as they are worn, total and all pain in my feet at the end of a long day of medical assisting is NOT entirely alleviated.  however, my feet feel a lot better wearing these then they do my puma sneakers.  also, the toe is now scuffed.  and speaking of the toe, I'm not entirely happy with the elf-like santa's helper shape.  let's just say, I'm ok happy with these, but wouldn't purchase another pair in another color
