In their words
“I get super sore ankles from some old injuries and am happy that these shoes are super comfortable with good, but not restrictive stability. I’m pairing these with some sports compression socks and I am experiencing less pain from the old injuries and a faster recovery time post exercise. I did also use these without compression socks and they were sooooo comfy and definitely helped with the pain,”

“The shoes don’t look like they’ll last very long and poorly made, glue on show and scuffed like they’ve been tried on. Been waiting almost a week for a partial refund, really slow customer service.”
