text: These go up very high on the top of your feet. They are very comfortable and I'm hoping once the top stretches a bit, they won't feel so restrictive. Big big downside for me is that they are synthetic and they really make your feet sweat and stink!  I had to stop wearing these as my feet were in horrible condition from the sweat. It makes me sad because they really are one of the money comfortable nursing shoes I've found.
