I have weird feet. I tend to get heel pain if I wear shoes that have built in support. So the shoes for people with bad feet that offer support actually hurt me. So I have to look for shows that offer as little support as is available.

I have worn shoes by all makers and adidas is the best for this. I prefer the Stan Smith. However, I didn't want to pay a premium price for them. I chose these and after wearing them for about a week, they are perfect for my needs. I don't give them 5 stars, because they squeak during break-in and I hate that.

They are also true to size. A little tight to start, but when they loosen up they don't get so loose to cause blisters which is another problem I have. Let's face it, buying shoes sucks and your results will vary. If you have the problem I have where the standard supportive shoes just cause more problems these "old school" shoes are great.
