first, can we talk about the cute value? love the colors and the fact that it has a knitted sweater pattern. plus the little bit of glittery sparkle on them ....love it. next, i work 10 + hrs a day standing on concrete. i wore these monday, and for the first time in months, my feet, my ankles, my legs, nor my back hurt! nice arch support, it could be more i guess, but for me it was just enough. decent amount of cushion, and these are the lightest shoes i have ever had. when i received the package i picked it up and thought i had ordered flip flops or toms shoes by mistake. i was expecting a weightier shoe. i purchased the green and red shoes, and i love the colors. they are acctually dead on the picture. i would like to buy the blue ones eventually.
