I purchased these shoes because there we so many positive reviews. They are the most uncomfortable shoes that I have ever owned. I had to line the sole with a cushion so that it would be slightly more comfortable. Wearing them all day my feet hurt horrifically. I would have returned them but my husband through the box out and so I thought I would try to continue to wear them and see if they would begin to feel better. NO! they got worse, more and more painful.
