Stability X Women's

Where have you been my whole life? I have a custom made AFO that I wasn't wearing. Finding shoes that the AFO fit was impossible. The shoes were too small and tight (even with a bigger size) and the prices were way beyond my reach. I spend hours searching and trying on shoes no luck until I found these on the internet. I'd never heard of your company until now. I'm a fan!

I have wide flat feet that tend to over-pronate and usually take a size 9.5 W but I take a 10W in the PROPET brand. I usually buy the White Stability Walker and they have a bit more gym shoe style than this pair. However, I thought I'd change it up a bit and get these - they looked cute with the black/pink on the inside... I am only using these to workout daily - mostly treadmill. I am glad I did not purchase these to wear outside the house as they are the most ugly athletic shoe I have. The mesh is very orthopedic looking and frumpy looking. I know these are "diabetic" approved but that doesn't mean that everyone with diabetes that needs these shoes is older. With that said, they are very comfortable and have enough support and cushion for my daily treadmill workout which is usually 1 hour. The tounge is very short and you cannot really pull it up much which doesn't really affect the performance of the shoe but it would be helpful if you could pull it up when adjusting and tying the laces. Would I buy this shoe again - likely not - the last pair of White Stability Walkers I was using for workout were worn through so I won't be needing a pair for a long time as I use them up pretty good but I'd definitely buy those again vs. these when it's time.

It seems like an overstatement, but it's true - these shoes have changed my life for the better. I have club feet, and before I bought these shoes I would be in pain after walking one mile, and wake up the next day with my ankle turned in and painful to put weight on. After I got these, I was surprised that I could walk a couple miles and the next day my ankle wouldn't turn in. After wearing these for over a year I now walk at least three miles a day without pain. Also, unlike other orthopedic shoes I've had, these just look like regular sneakers and the black on black style makes them match any casual outfit. I love these and will buy another pair as soon as mine wear out.

PROS: Love the color pink/black. The sole of the shoe is my favorite thing about this shoe, nice and wide and stable with standing and walking. Traction is also very good. I love the outside toebox area, stretches for comfort, yet doesn't compromise stability needed. CONS: my carbon fiber foot/leg braces squeak terribly with every step, I don't know why. And the heal area could be a little bit wider on the inside , the shoe doesn't feel like a true 4E like the winter boots I purchased from Propet.
