These shoes are a great addition to a shoe wardrobe.  The support is par non as with Aravon products.  And the shoe style is very cute working with pants, skirts or dresses.  Easy to walk long distances without thinking about one's aching feet.  Also great for walking on concrete sidewalks to minimize and possibly eliminate back strain and pain.  Not crazy about the bulk of the velcro strap.  But it has held up well for the 6+ months use to date.
