I was looking for a shoe with arch support and BOY did I get one! This shoe had so much arch to it that it turned my entire foot in a very uncomfortable position and slid my heel off of the foot bed...my heel was literally hanging off the side of the shoe. I thought perhaps it would just take me a few days to get used to them but it was physically painful to wear them for even 10 minutes at a time. Suffice it to say, I sent them back. I ordered a pair of hipthong sandals from Chaco and they worked much better. Just in case you are wondering, I wear a women's size 8 shoe. I have a medium arch and can wear both B and C width women's shoes. If your foot is similar in size and proportion, you may have the same problem with this shoe that I did. Check out shoes by Chaco or Merrell if you decide to try these and they don't work. Hope this helps!
