I bought these because the description said they would be suitable for diabetics with foot related edema and neuropathy. I put them on and the first thing that came to mind was that they are very tight. Then when I managed to get my feet in I thought I wrapped my feet in 80 grit sandpaper. The description of this product is very misleading, they are the most uncomfortable things I have tried to put my feet in. They are small, have an unfinished interior, and are made of very coarse material. If you have swelling and/or neuropathy this shoe may not be for you.
