The lacing system was heavily appreciated by several wearers. One of them loves that they “don't have to lace and unlace every time.” They expounded that “you can lace them up to your comfort place and never have to lace them again.”
People with asymmetric foot conditions found this especially helpful. One of them who has a left foot with arthritis, a bunion, bone spurs, and metatarsal pain needed it to be looser on the affected foot. They said that after adjusting it once, “it’s just zip and go.” Because of this feature, a person with a fallen arch only on their left foot said they “fit like they are custom-made for you!”

Another adds that “these shoes give me arch support that no other shoe has done.” Yet another shares that “they are so comfortable my feet almost wept.” They added that this is because “my feet and back don't suffer from poor arch support.”
For standing all day
An educator wears these shoes as they stand around for work all day, they mentioned: “I wore these all day and my legs and feet thank you.” One person was initially cautious with the shoe because of preexisting conditions. They “put on this shoe and wore it for short periods of time for 3 or 4 days,” and soon after wore them all day. They shared the result by saying “My back did not hurt and my feet did not cramp,” committing to get more pairs.
