I will never, ever buy these shoes again. They are perfect if you want slippers for around the house. I am an avid walker and can walk up to 5 miles recreationally everyday. After one mile in these shoes I had to take them off and go barefoot. There is absolutely no arch support in them at all. If forced to wear them for more than an hour I end up popping my tarsel bones out of place and the heel pain is excrutiating. I do not recommend these for anyone but but a doddering old housewife who sits with her feet up in front of the tv while eating bonbons!
