text: I love the look, these shoes are crazy comfortable, and they helped alleviate the arthritic problems I have in my feet, knees, hips, and back; however, they are so cheaply made that the rivet for the strap came out of mine after just a few weeks of wear (not even 4). Considering the brand name, and the price; I totally expected to get more wear out of them than I did. My husband wanted me to order another pair because I stand and walk quite a bit on my job, and these have been the only shoe that supports my feet, and distributes my weight correctly enough to keep me from being crippled with pain. I am just so disappointed with the first pair, that I can't see spending the money for another pair that might only last a month, if I'm lucky.
