I purchased these shoes because they looked and were described similarly to shoes that cost me three times as much. So, I figured they would be worth the risk. They were are not, they are unwearable for anyone with foot issues or need arch support. If you don't have foot issues, you could readily develop foot problems. I tried to return them and they would not let me. (They have no return address). I filed a dispute with PayPal and it was denied because they said the shoes were substantially as described. They are still unwearable and their website wording is skillfully crafted but the shoes stink. Beware!
