text: I loved these shoes at first - they fit so nicely I felt i could wear them forever. Though they were slightly more narrow than expected. I have flat feet though, and the arch support actually gave me a lot of foot pain when walking around without them on. Very infrequently do I find shoes where the arch support actually fits on the arch of my foot - it's always slightly off, too flat or too high and in the wrong places. Similarly, it made the bottom joint of my big toe on my sole pretty achy. Additionally, after a while of wearing them, I noticed both my big toes were going numb. Then, I noticed nerve pain and pinching on the outer side of my toe where the strap crosses over on the inside of the toe loop. It sucked! It was really painful and numb for about ~3 weeks after not wearing them anymore. I tried a couple of times to wear them again after it healed, but the toe strap just keeps getting WAY too tight way too fast and I can feel it constricting - it makes sense that my nerves were pinched. I haven't seen anyone else complain about this though, so I'm wondering if maybe the shoe was too small or something and hitting my foot in the wrong place? The size 7 were WAY too big and the 6 were bordering on too small. Sucks because they were so cute
