text: I am returning these shoes. I found them to be about as far from a &#34;walking shoe&#34;, as you can get. I read the reviews, and ordered a half size larger, and still my big toe hit the end. The shoe seemed very wide at the heel, and I couldn't get the strap tight enough to stop the shifting there, every time I took a step. My heels are not exceptionally narrow. There is absolutely NO arch support, and felt as if I was walking on a plank. The soles are very thick and heavy, I can only assume that is the manufacturer's reason for thinking they could call these a walking shoe. If you want a heavy, clunky Frankenstein shoe, go for it.... I only wore these for about an hour, since my feet started hurting almost as soon as I put them on. I wanted to give them a chance, but it wasn't worth it.
