I do not have any other shoes with flat bottoms like this. I have high arches that ache badly if unsupported. I can’t wear flats at all because of them. I’ve never been able to wear this style of shoe before. I most often fit a size 8 or 7.5 depending on shoe style and manufacturer. After a lot of researching I heard great things about these so I ordered my typical size (8) when they were on sale. The size 8 were surprisingly too loose and too wide. I exchanged them for a half size down.
The 7.5 size fits perfect! At first I wasn’t used to the style and shape of the toe box but it wasn’t uncomfortable or painful – I’m just used to sneakers with larger toe boxes. My toes adjusted pretty quickly after several wears. I love these shoes! The support is better than I could’ve imagined! I work as an elementary educator with concrete/hard tile floors and am on my feet nearly all day long. These shoes give my all the support my arches and back need. Plus they are more professional looking than my nice tennis shoes. I can dress them up or down with ease and this black style looks cute (for me) with low, ankle, or longer socks.
I’ve been looking for shoes like this for years and just figured I’d never be able to find a pair that worked for me. Not the case anymore! I’ve been wearing them almost daily for nearly 4 months now. These have become my daily shoes instead of my nice sneakers. They haven’t torn on the sides or bottom, there’s been no weird stretching out, no scratches on the top or sides (and I’m rough on shoes), no blisters or rubbing at all and the support has stayed! I love the padding on the heel and ankle of this shoe. My feet don’t feel sore after taking these off even after a long day. Even during some 12+ hour days of teaching followed by errands and church in the evenings afterward, the support is there and keeps me on my feet.
So far I’ve been able to wear these all week long teaching and during the weekend without the comfort or support fading. I’m asking for another pair in a different color for Christmas! Hoping a different color/fabric will still feel and hold up the same way.
If you’ve struggled to find this style of shoe due to high arches or other support/comfort problems- these might be worth a try for you. I recommend purchasing when on sale if it’s hard for you to pull the spending trigger on shoes more than $25 or so (like it is for me). For how popular these shoes are, $50.00 seems like a fantastic deal! Here’s to happy, healthy, supported feet 👣.
