There is nothing wrong with this shoe. With a shoehorn, it is easy and simple to put on. The unique best feature is the soft, flexible band around the ankle. It is conveniently adapted to the shape and needs of the area. Reach out gently. There is no noticeable holding bond. Shoes don't slip. It's like a custom order. Would recommend to anyone with ankle problems. This is of course a great consolation for everyone else.
