I buy relatively expensive work shoes for work on a small farm and in my shop. This is where I spend most of my time. On a concrete floor I got the impression that it was selling well and the upper ankle brace was labeled Dr. Scholes fitted liner should work fine BUT MY FEET remained very uncomfortable so one day I was in a hurry and just put on my first old pair of Skechers. You guessed it, this 76 year old's feet were pretty comfortable at the end of the day so I ordered these pair and they are just as good. I guess my feet weren't happy in high priced shoes. If you haven't tried it, just try it. I think you will like them. With His blessings Jim
