I was disappointed in this..... I wore them around my kitchen abit thinking I'd just get used to them and see why others rated them so well.<br />Note - I have very high arches .... the heel of the shoe is centered lower on purpose which I believe is the premise of many shoes now like Earth brand.  But the shoe just wasn't very flexible and the shoe bed was harder than I like.  The shoes are also quite heavy and not very attractive.  If my shoes are going to be ugly, they better make up for in amazing support - this shoe had neither - it was just cheap.  So it was returned.
