After very few days of wearing these shoes I feel incredible! My feet, ankles, knees and hips are in alignment and my posture is great.When walking with my old shoes, I had started tripping and falling. My old shoes have a rolling sole AND the soles were large, extending beyond the edge of the shoes. I needed an expert's advice and went to see a podiatrist. She evaluated my gait and alignment of my body, and confirmed my suspicions, the old shoes were the problem. I'd already been admiring this shoe out in her lobby and this is the one she recommended! In addition to the shoe's structure, support, and light weight, the toe box is very roomy. A wide toe box allows your toes to spread out, promoting better balance and stability. I bought a 2nd pair to wear on alternate days. This can increase the life of your shoes. OH! I love the look of this shoe! The simple smooth lines and combination of leather and mesh are very attractive.
