I will give it to you directly. I bought these my weight loss goals for the new year. I weighed over 300 pounds, my heels hurt all the time. If they didn't hurt and I exercised, the pain would come back. I chose these shoes hoping to avoid some if not more foot pain. Of course it worked! When I first tried these shoes on I was skeptical. Not because they felt like it, but I just thought they were like regular shoes. I soon realized I was wrong. As a HEEL STOMPPER I feel the impact of my shoes on the ground and when I stand I shift my weight onto my heels without trying. toes and when standing they feel SUPER soft. At this point, PAIN is pretty much non-existent (when they're dormant, of course, and then come back to life). Now I'm only 260 pounds and my shoes are still like new! You are perfect! 10/10 regards, genuine review
