I have fibromyalgia, and it is very difficult to find a shoe of any kind that doesn't hurt my feet.  This is the only one I've found that has enough cushioning for the bottoms of my feet and a strap configuration that doesn't hurt the tops or toes.  The soft polyurethane lining is the best I've found for minimizing friction from the straps.  All in all, they're great!  I just hope they don't stop making this style--which has happened in the past when I have found something I like.  As usual, Amazon shopping is convenient and the package came promptly.
