"I have various foot pains and also random swelling in both feet. My old shoes were no longer working for me and I needed something that was both comfortable and able to stretch if my feet swell. I found these and they felt wonderful the instant I tried them on! I love how light and flexible they are. I can wear them all day and totally forget they're on. Before, I was having to take my shoes off if I didn't *need* to have them on. These are absolutely perfect for my needs! They give just the right amount of support without strangling my feet. Highly recommended!"
