text: I wanted to love these shoes. They were somewhat too long for my foot, (I typically take a size 9, so that's what I ordered), but I thought I could live with that.However, just wearing them the few recommended hours around the house the first day, the thong was so rough it cut into my skin--not just a blister; it cut right through. I had to return them and ordered a non-thong model. Too bad--the arch support felt great. Hope the new ones are as good in that department.
