text: Arch support is not the most important thing to me - I have strong feet so I don't look for arch support much except in athletic shoes. I get lots of compliments whenever I wear these shoes. They are my second pair of Spring Step brand shoes and I am now a convert and &#34;poster child&#34; for the brand as I am truly taken with their uniqueness, style, comfort, and workmanship. And there are so MANY, MANY different styles out there! I will pay more for them than I used to pay for shoes, but I will continue to happily seek them out because I think they are SPECIAL! Had it been an option, I would have only taken off a half star for the slight variance in size - it isn't very much.
