These shoes! These glorious, hug you better then your husband, shoes! My feet are in love. I have feet that need support. They get sore, ache, make my back hurt. I am miserable in almost every shoe.But these, I would cheat on my other shoes with these everyday and not feel one bit ashamed. I would find a way to make these shoes go with a formal gown. Can you wear them to a cocktail party, of course you can. Will they be OK for that wedding you were invited to? Yes, if you dance all night because you feel so good, no one will care what were on your feet, go for it girlfriend!These shoes. They treat you like a lady. Delicate around the toe area with stretchy fabric. So nice. No digging in on the toes, it has a wide toe bed so your feet can spread out like feet are supposed to. Nothing feels binding or tight. The top where the laces are, lovely and stretchy too. Nothing digging into the top of the foot on that tender skin. So gentle.I deserve these shoes and I am a better person for owning them. They have stopped me from being bitchy to others because I am comfortable and feel delightful. I am not thinking in my head "when will this person stop talking to me so I can sit down because my feet hurt!!" or "no I don't want a double shift with overtime because my feet are screaming at me"!.These shoes, so elegantly tender to my beaten up feet that need somebody to pay attention to them and love them for who they are.The footbed; if heaven has shoes, these are there. First pair everyone wants. They have a middle support system that absolutely supports those fallen arches, those feet that stand all day on hard floors. Feet that have seen early mornings and late nights. Feet that have walked, climbed and carried. The center support almost feels like a big squishy ball that fills up the center arch and then feels springy under your foot. It is quite wonderful really. Reminds me of childhood days when my unscathed feet ran merrily through golden fields of summer. Unburdened by injury or tired feet, no pain, just joy... these shoes...The Heel; There is more density in the heel portion. There is still squish but it feels like you have cushioning that is supportive but not stiff. The fit of the shoe behind your foot is also forgiving. It doesn't bite into your ankle or have sharp ankle edges that give you blisters because they rub like a lot of the backs of sports shoes do. The design really thinks a lot about function and comfort in different quadrants of the shoe for your foot to really cushion your foot properly and not bind or pinch. I need that, I am grateful they made these.These shoes. Girl, if you have read this far, you are already looking for you new lover. I bought mine in the light blue. I am buying more!These shoes <3
