Wore these shoes around the house and they were fine.  The one time I tried them out side walking down a hill, my foot slipped<br />forward and this caused my big toe to bruise severely.  I guess they are just good for level surface walking.  I would send them back but<br />there was no packing slip in the box they were sent in.  I cannot use these shoes for the reason I purchased them.<br /><br />Also, the shoe is really wide at the ankle.
