"I haven't worn a normal shoe in over 3 years. I am diabetic and have worn tennis shoes for the past 3 yrs. I bought these shoes thinking they were going to be like the rest, and I would have to return them. They are sooo comfortable. They are thick on the bottom which is just what I need and they fit snug, which is also what I need. My feet are a whole size different so I usually have to have tie or buckles. I wore them to work last night and I stand on my feet for 8 hrs and my feet didn't hurt or ache. I finally get to wear skirts again."
