These are by far the worst nursing shoes I've ever purchased. I wore them to work the day after they arrived and they had already rubbed a raw spot on my heel before I even started my shift. I had to apply bandaid to the back of my heels. My feet and toes hurt so bad by the end of my shift, I had to elevate them when I got home. I literally had to take them off many times during my shift just to get some relief from the pain. Terrible, terrible shoes. The only plus is that they are cute. I'll never purchase nurse mates again.
