text: I was really disappointed I couldn't keep these shoes. I have other Orthaheel shoes and love them. I wanted metallic shoes for the flash, and ordered the Bronze - which were beautiful - the accent studs on the strap were attractive without being overdone. I ordered wide - and the width was good, with room in the toe box. The arch support - whcih they are known for - was excellent. However, there was a lack of cushion under the forefoot - and my feet immedialtely hurt when I walked in them. I tried them 3 times, and finally gave up and sent them back. Sooo disappointed - they were beautiful shoes...
