Bought these shoes because I was having issues transferring from a fracture boot into sneakers due to swelling and a neuroma. The previous expensive, wide sneakers I purchase for the weening process just made my neuroma worse. I was about to give up and then found a review where someone said these shoes are great when your foot is swollen. While these shoes are not quite my style, they feel like i am walking on clouds. No neuroma pain and doesn't cause my toe area to swell like the sneakers. Best purchase I've made all year. So excited to be walking again pain free :)
