Three months in use - aerobics twice a week and the protector comes off. You have to deduct 1 star from them. ---- They have arch support but they don't raise my heel. At first they were a bit tight and digging into my leg near the pinky toe, but they loosened up. high. They're pretty tight around the ankle (to keep rocks out I guess) so just be aware that you have to unlace them a lot more than regular sneakers to put them on.
