text: I had such high hopes for these since all the other reviews were so positive, but these just kill my feet. While they have a nice bouncy step to them, they rub like CRAZY. I could hardly walk by the end of the day. I had a cut on the top of one toe, several blisters, and my (small) bunion was on fire. These are also incredible narrow. I'm usually an 8.5 but I ordered a 9 and they're still much too small to fit comfortably. What a bummer. They hurt so much I don't know if I'll be able to ever wear them at all. -Amy V
