text: These were nice, but I got a terrible backache and my toes really started to hurt right after I wore these. I couldn't imagine that it was the shoes, so I continued to wear them. However, my toes started hurting so badly that I stopped wearing them. Immediately, my toes started feeling better. I got a really bad pain between my big toe and the next biggest one. It was painful and these definitely did not encourage me to go walk.
