I love these shoes! The front is wide, and has a lovely large toe-box, which makes my feet very comfortable. The firm sole only bends in the natural direction of the foot in its walking position (that is, across the ball of the foot), but not along the length of the foot, which helps with my gait, which involves rolling the foot both inwards and outwards - pronation and the other term, which I've forgotten. The slightly indented heel cup keeps my heel in place, and stabilizes the foot overall.
I love that for all that this is effectively an orthopedic support shoe //for me//, I've still gotten compliments from total strangers about these shoes, asking where I got them, etc. The wide front is beautifully designed so it enhances the look of the entire foot, rather than draw attention to the fact that these are wide-sole shoes.
About the only complaint I have is that I've had to have the length of the strap shortened by a cobbler, because it otherwise goes past the matching velcro tabs, so it would sometimes come undone, and at all times, it looked like each foot had half a moustache (the extra length of the strap tends to curl upwards like a handlebar moustache). Shortening the strap fixed that small complaint, and that was that!

Hello Skirts! Arthritis Sufferers Must Have!
I’ll try to keep this short because the pictures speak for themselves. I have Psoriatic Arthritis and the impacting had on my feet / toes has been the worst. My toe box is wide and my toes are not attractive. Two huge bumps also protrude from the outside of each foot. I haven’t wore a skirt or dress in several years because I cannot wear heels and open toe sandals look terrible on me. It dawned on me to look for something like these. Jackpot! Today was the first day I wore them and comfy all day long. I even went shopping after work and was on my feet for another hour. Home now and continue wearing them. I usually take my shoes off immediately and put on slippers. I wear a size 10-10.5 and usually don’t get wide width. In these a 10D (wide) fits like a glove. Plenty of room in the toebox, surprising amount of arc support, and the sides of my feet that jut from bone damage fit perfect. The Velcro straps are long and stayed securely attached all day. I am so excited to wear skirts and dresses again. Already planning my next non-slack outfit. I recommend these hands down if you struggle with foot issues.
