I bought these for work, I am a nursing supervisor. I thought, if I am doing all this walking, I might as well get some extra benefit, right? Well, I had no idea how comfortable these would be. They take a little getting used to, but after a few days, it’s like gliding on air. I have bunions on both feet, and any time I walk at a fast pace, they were hurting. My mom had the surgery for this, and I was thinking I would need to be having it myself soon. In these shoes, I can do all the brisk walking I want and my bunions do not hurt one bit. Also, I have been wearing these for a month and there is a noticeable difference in the way my legs and behind look and feel. The biggest difference is in the calf area, my calves are literally rock hard now. You don’t think they are giving you a toning benefit while you are wearing them, but when you take them off, your legs and behind are sore like you were working out. If you are on the fence about buying these- they are worth every penny! They are true to size for me, usually wearing a 9 and taking a 9 in these also. I love them so much that I bought the Mary Janes and I bought my husband a pair, he loves them also.

I have back problems from a ruptured disc that affected my sciatic nerve and the piriformis muscle on my left side, both of which have caused severe pain and problems walking and going up stairs. Physical therapy and cortisone shots helped, but I still have pain in my left hip constantly. After buying and wearing these shoes, I have a noticeable change for the better. The prirformis pain, which goes across the left of the backside is definitely better and going up stairs has improved. If you have ANY of these back problems, get these shoes and WEAR them. Don’t worry about the looks, just wear them for a week–the change will be noticeable and you won’t care about how they look! I bought the Mary Jane’s for work and love them–you will too.

I will never work in regular shoes again. If you stand on your feet all day-you HAVE to have these.
