Believe me. I know shoes. I'm ALWAYS looking for comfort, support, easy on and off. I have Oofos and from time to time I get "lured" by ads. All I can tell you is that the people who buy them have never had Oofos and/or they are just curmudgeons! Use your head and do your best. for your body, feet, legs. Release some money and buy Oofos. It's not even a decent cheap imitation. Don't waste your time and money!
