text: I believe in healthy feet.  Shoes must have a nice arch and a wide toe box.  These do not.  They also forced my big toe to lean in.  I already had another pair of shoes that did that and it cause my toe to permanently lean in.  If your toes are already like that from wearing pointy shoes maybe may not a problem, but I consider it essencial to toe stability when walking and running.  I am very upset to see this trend and I always look for a straight edge going from the heal (skipping the arch) and going on to the top of the big toe. The foot should be held back by the top of the shoe over the arch, not the toes being jammed.  And these shoes are not to short - just too pointy.
