I bought these shoes because it was supposed to be orthotic.  It doesn't feel like my feet are well supported though.  They are comfortable in a flat sort of way so i guess they will do.  What was strange was that the right shoe felt bigger than the left shoe with the tongue of the shoe (the part under the laces) longer on the right than on the left but when i compare the shoes they are the same size so maybe its my feet that has a problem! I never experienced this with the hundred other shoes i've bought tho.
