I really wanted to like these shoes, but they have way too much arch support to where it makes them unusable for me. Doesn’t matter whether I’m standing or walking, it’s just too much pressure in that area. I don’t believe I have flatter than average feet, but part of it may be due to the fact that I am used to wearing minimal shoes that are completely flat.
