In their words

Very comfortable and cushions properly in the right places. Lasts well for my 12 hour shifts as a nurse. My second pair.

I like them but I HATE the white platform color. Seriously what's up with the white or light colored platform? It shows dirt right away why not go with a dark color. I like the wide toe box and they feel super comfortable to me. I wish the people complaining about the big toe box would hush. This is literally the only brand I can wear that has a wide enough toe box. Narrow footed people have tons
