This shoe has restored my ability to walk! No jokes or slaps are required of a mad preacher. I have underwires on both feet and have found this shoe to be the only thing that 1. doesn't irritate bursitis and 2. doesn't look like a medical slipper. I wear them as my regular work/office shoe after years of wearing New Balance. NBs are also known for their wide, bursitis-friendly profile, and that was good enough until I was in my 40s. After swapping out half a dozen different shoes and my bunions getting more and more painful, I stumbled across these and - voila! - All my problems have been solved.
