I am trying to lose weight and went back to walking. However after just 30 minutes my left foot would be so sore and painful, I would limp around the rest of the day. This shoe was suggested at a store and I am SO happy I got them. The moment I put them on I could tell the difference. Good support and cushiony. Almost like walking on air. Now I am walking 5 miles a day with the minimal amount of soreness in my feet. These shoes are literally lifesavers!
