text: These shoes are well-made, but they're heavy and offer no arch support.  Before wearing them, I had to put in supplemental insoles and &#34;back-of-heel cushions&#34;.  Even with the heel cushions, I had such terrible blisters on both heels that I had to wear open-back shoes for an entire week (I'm still doctoring the right foot).  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them now.  They look great but I can't wear something that's going to destroy my feet.  For the record, I have the leather Chuck Taylors in black and I never remember having this much trouble with them (although they also required supplemental insoles and heel cushions).
