I have been attempting to replace my favorite travel shoes for years, a pair that I could wear site seeing all day and not have my feet screaming at me by noon. I have problem feet that hurt continuously when I walk too much, but am fit and love traveling, so am desperate. These looked like my old shoes, looked like there was good foot bed support, so I took a chance. They were very sloppy when I first took them out of the box, but when I put in my orthodic, they fit well enough to give them a chance. I wore them around the house for two days without issue, so ventured out of the house and went grocery shopping for the holidays, a big test involving three stores and many hours. I still have them on, which is a very good sign. They are too big in the heel, but I think that I can fix that with a supplement. The fact that I can tighten the instep helps with that issue. My main problem area is the toe box and so far so good. I have been fooled by shoes before, so am not raving about them, but my hopes are high!
