I read a lot of mixed reviews prior to purchasing these shoes. Some people said they were great and some said they bothered old knee, ankle, foot injuries. Unfortunately, I experienced the latter.

In spite of my bad experience with these shoes, I do believe other people when they say they've experienced the opposite and had relief from injuries while wearing them. I can imagine the heels of these shoes would be a welcome relief to people who stand on their feet all day and wind up with painful, sore heels.

I could not continue to wear them, though, because they were causing my knee to hyper-extend. I'd recommend to others to try them on in-store and wait another day after that before purchasing. I was in quite a lot of knee pain the following morning after wearing them in the house for only a few minutes. If I'd done what I'm recommending, I could have saved myself the trouble of returning them.
