"This style seemed just what I wanted. So, I tried several sizes in stores online and they just didn't quite feel right. When I determined the best size for me via short walks on carpoet, I ordered two colors online. I broke a pair in a bit in the house, but hesitated to wear them to work - again because they just were not comfortable. Eventually I did and my feet killed me. I returned the black pair and tried the brown pair a couple more times, with bandaids and heal cushions some of the time. I have just stopped wearing the brown ones, went back to my old shoes and am here on the DWS site looking for a differnent shoe."
