I really wanted to like it. I have a plate in my right leg after the operation. I'm not sure if this shoe is made for this situation. I think the adjustment is more towards the front where I need the ability to adjust the size around the area above the heel. I may try another larger size in the future. At the moment I have decided on other shoes that are more adjustable in the area I need. These aren't running shoes though, so I'm still looking for something similar to this article.
