I had foot surgery a few months ago and they fitted me with an orthopedic shoe afterwards. The shoe was the kind that is basically a sandal with lots of velcro straps to keep it in whatever place you want it. It had about a 1" sole on it. So I looked on Amazon to find a shoe with a matching sole height and found this! Also, it's a deep black, so it matched the orthopedic shoe. I love the pink trim. It's too much, but just enough to be offset.
