These shoes are great for me! I recently had bunion surgery and had to have my large toe straightened. Shoes have always been an issue for me so when I tried these on I was elated! I still have pain even after my surgery but these shoes have enough give in the sides as to not rub or exert too much pressure on the joint where my surgery was. I love that they are stretchy in all directions yet have enough support to keep my feet from sliding around in them! I will probably order another pair in a different color!
