Pros:<br />-well made<br />-comfortable on first touch.<br /><br />Cons:<br />-Heavy<br />-hard slippery soles (profile shown in picture)<br />-very little support for an &#34;orthopedic&#34; shoe. (Profile shown in picture)<br /><br />Comparison:<br />I tried three different shoes and here is my quick comparison, for more information read my in depth reviews of each shoe, whoch can be found through my account page.<br /><br />-Spenco yumi: 2 STARS<br />  not supportive enough and slippery sole<br />-Orthaheel Ryder: 3 STARS<br />  Not as supportive as I expected and strange sole profile.<br />-Orthaheel Bryce: 5 STARS<br />  Perfection! Great support, Great look, and Great traction. Worth the price.<br /><br />Review:<br />The shoe was well put together but offers less support than I expected. The bottom of the shoe is very slippery and there are serious traction Issues. The foot print of this shoe, what actually touches the ground is shockingly small. (shown in pictures) This combined with the rigidity of the sole cause traction issues.The deal killer for me was the lack of support, Ultimately is support not the reason you buy a Orthopedic shoe? The thong strap was a little rough but I suspect it will become comfortable after just a few hours a wear.<br /><br />Summary:<br />Though this is well put together, the lack of support and slippery sole are a deal killer. I am returning these and would not suggest them.
