I don't get the hype. They hurt my feet immediately. The brigde/top of my foot was being compressed, like a tight belt was strapped across it. The sole was rigid and inflexible. The toe too short, pressing against the front of my big toe. No arch support. No padding inside the shoe. How in the world do so many nurses rave about this shoe???? I returned it and didn't even bother going up the 1.5 full sizes larger than my usual size that it would have required to get a halfway decent fit. Bought some Merrills instead, my usual size, and love them.
