We marched in several Mardi Gras parades with each parade being at least 4 miles long after each parade my feet were fine! They were not hurting or bothering me at all! I loved everything about them so much so that I chaperoned in these same shoes for different parades! The in sole of them are comfortable and soft to the touch.Bought for dance classMy daughter needed these for a hip hop class. They fit her perfectly, and are super cute!My daughter is on her third pair, this is all she wants to wear and is rough on them. One year we got her the silver shoes and the silver rubbed off in short order. Under the silver the shoe was colored differently, as though it had been spray painted. It lasted over a year though. These black ones look better but I would think the paint may rub off at some point. I will update this review after a month or two.She does find them comfy and loves the style, so I will give it a 4 star for now. If it was cheaper I would rate it a bit higher.I added a photo of two pairs we got. Notice how the silver paint rubbed off to reveal pink underneath. In fairness, it did last her a very long time, she was happy with them.Shoe is far too tight - multiple laces are also very confusingLooks really good. I know im a 7 though and it was way too small. I wore them already though so i can't return them. So money well spent for product... just didnt fit.I got them for back and ankle support, my back is doing slightly better since I been wearing them. I have not been able to do a lot of walking in them to see if they will support me for what I got them for. Still deciding if I will keep them. They rup blisters on my left pinky toe the laces are too short and they hurt my feet.They are beautiful shoes and good ankle support but a bit stiff on the width and hard to break in. They could use to be a pinch wider for me but all else is greatAdvertised as men'sThese are womens.Such fraud, because I can not print anything to ship them back, and they will not fix this, even though it is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.
