These are now my favorite shoes. I am up 12 hours at work. I have never heard of this brand. This was the item offered to me for review on the Vine program. I saw the price and thought I would test the ability to live up to the price. I used to spend over $100 on shoes but it makes me sick to think about it. This is an item I will happily do if they are really good. I can wear shoes for so many years and they don't wear out. I'm a fan of ASICS but now I like them more. That speaks volumes. It looks like an illusion. They appear to have thin soles. Like standing almost barefoot on the floor. When I first put them on I thought they wouldn't have good support. But closer to the heel on the inside of the foot there is good arch support. It sounds strange, and that's how it felt when I first put it on. But let me tell you, it's great! Huh, why is that. Maybe it helps with the pressure distribution? The forefoot seems to have less support but wearing them all night proved they had enough. My legs had plenty of room although they seemed to be hugging my leg. They appear narrow but don't fit like that, if that makes sense. I've never had shoes like this before. It's too easy to be so supportive and sweet. As if it contradicted the laws of physics. I do not run. I wish I wasn't out of breath lol. But I think that's what they would be good for. My knees or feet never hurt all night. And my legs aren't as bad as usual. The protector is really grippy. you are small I usually wear a 7 and can wear a 6.5 in some boots. I read reviews saying they are small so I got a 7.5. They fit so perfectly.
