Never in my life have I had this much pain with shoes. Horrendous piercing pain with my arches, my toes cramped up, the fabric tag liner on top of the shoe scraping against the top of my foot.... I wanted to cry when I walked to my car after my clinical rotation. I wore them twice (but bought them months in advance) and they are by far, the most painful shoes I've EVER had the displeasure of wearing. My friend bought the same one as me and the bottom of her sole fell off on day 1. Horribly made! Some of my colleagues had mentioned their feet felt fine, but certainly not mine. Go for the sketchers memory foam. They're cheaper and you'll feel like you're walking on a cloud. I practically begged amazon for a return and thankfully, they helped me out.
