Was pretty dead set on these based on the positive reviews & desperate for pain relief. Overall I’d say I’m pretty disappointed. They feel pretty great and do seem to help in alleviating foot pain.What I didn’t care for was this style in particular seems to run wide. There’s almost too much room in the tow box & I have to keep them drawn fairly tight. They aren’t comfortable around the ankle until they’re more broken in so my typical no-show socks were not a good combination. It’s advertised that you get these alternative insoles as well. I started out with the “corrective” pair and while I found them to coincide with comfort, as far as activity they were too “slippery” for my feet. I’m assuming it’s just the top material they're comprised of but I found it enough of a nuisance to switch them out for a basic OTC insert that I’ve liked in the past. Overall, I’ve had these for 6 weeks & they’re falling apart. I’m my opinion they cost way too much to be doing that. I’ll continue wearing them because they DO seem to help with foot pain but the fact that I’m supergluing my $135 shoes is unsat.As far as customer service directly with the company they’re extremely lacking. I had an experience in which I bought another style (prior to these falling apart) and had to exchange for a different size. Their website wouldn’t work or load correctly to file the “claim” online so I sent an email to their generic mailbox given along with filling out & returning the exchange form. About a week after they were received back I finally called asking for a status. I was told that my email was confusing & they didn’t understand what I needed to exchange for (it was clearly indicated on the returned form as I’m capable of following basic instructions) but also didn’t reach out to contact me in any way. I was told that to make up for it they’d send out my replacement as a “rush” and I should have it in 3-5 business days. Asked for an email confirmation of such & never received anything. Called again another 8 days later asking what’s going on & was told the replacement order got “hung up” somewhere & again, to make up for it, I’d have them sent as a high priority rush & would receive in 3 business days. Again, also asked for an email confirming as such but received some type of nonsense that seemed to be for internal use only. After these 3 business days I’ve finally received an acknowledgment of receiving my original pair (they’ve had them for almost a month) in addition to “here’s tracking information for your replacement”. It took those 3 days for them to even be shipped when they should have been received. I did actually get tracking information this time, and they’re set to arrive in another 5 days.My initial review would have been around 4-4.5 stars based solely on the product. Now that they’re falling apart after such a short amount of time I’d drop to 3.5-4, again they do feel good to wear. After the experience with their “always pleasant customer service” I can’t go any higher than 3 tops.I’d recommend shopping around for someone that delivers an all around good experience with customer service from the very beginning as well as a good quality product that lasts. When it comes to “good” footwear when you have problematic feet, it’s a given you’re making an investment & can’t get away with anything “cheap”. I just would have hoped that for $135 these would have lasted at least 6 months or so before falling apart.Hope my honest opinion helps in your purchase decision.

5.0 out of 5 stars They are working, and fit as expected! I love them!
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2021
The shoe is true to size, and fit as expected. The toe box is a little bit bigger than expected, but gives me wiggle room. The shoes do carry a bit of weight.
Now, for the reason I bought these shoes. I am just starting my journey through my forties, but I have knee and hip pain as well as plantar fasciitis. I can tell you that they hurt my knee and hip the first couple of days, but then, a magical thing happened, a lot of my pain was not gone but relieved a lot. I have not had to take ibuprofen or Tylenol which is a good thing for me for other reasons. I look for them as soon as I am dressed first thing when I wake up. My plantar fasciitis has tons of relief to the point of being non-existent. I have worn them everyday since they arrived a week and a half ago I think.
I'm not saying these will work for you, but they have been working for me, and I think they are worth a try if you are looking for a little extra support, and they also look stylish! I really love them thus far!
