My first pair was a gift in this same style when it was called “Yolanda,” way before Vionic technology was even added to them. Since then, I have been buying Orthoheel for years and this is the first time I have been disappointed by them. Four months of moderate wear and sides have pulled away from the main base and the toe post has ripped, exposing the strings.<br />On a positive note, this style is amazing for people with width issues. It fits true to size because of the ability to adjust in the straps and the arch technology really makes a difference in everyday life. I used to have an issue with one of my feet swelling due to poor circulation. These honestly have helped and I haven't had issues since I started using them.<br />I'm hoping this issue with qualify is not the new normal. I will try them again and see if maybe I just received a lemon this time around.
