STQ Women's Slip-On Breathable Mesh Walking Shoes - Fashion Sneakers with Comfort Wedge Platform for Casual Wear, Work & Travel

For many years I have dealt with aging feet issues-plantar fasciitis, toe ligament issues, etc. I am on my feet most of the day so wearing supportive, comfortable shoes is imperative. I found these shoes while searching for orthopedic footwear. The cushioned, supportive soles as well as the price lured me in. The reviews were mixed but decided to try them. Also based on reviews, I ordered a half size up to be safe.The shoes arrived quickly. There is good support as well as flexibility in sole. The shoes come with a removable arch support and while it was not heavy duty, it is not overly flimsy either. I tried the shoes on with the provided support and with my own arch orthotic. I chose to wear with my orthotic and there was ample space to do so. The shoes is not difficult to get on yet still felt comfortably snug. I debated about ordering a wide shoe as I have in the past for sufficient toe space but did not in this case. The toe box is tall enough and it does not rub on my toes at all which is huge. Way more comfortable. The shoes have great cushioning! No pain in sole of foot even after 14 hours of continuous wear. The shoes are light with great traction. I highly recommend for anyone with similar issues. Already debating whether I should order another pair!!I have worked in retail 8+ years and it wasn’t towards year 6 that I realized how important it was to find a shoe with the right support. At age 28 I started having problems with my right foot and lower back from wearing crappy shoes and working on my feet all day long. Luckily I started seeking help from a chiropractor and started wearing the correct shoes before it became a long term issue. So anyway, I’m just going to get to the point. I’ve worn a lot of different brands, Clarke’s were my favorite for a couple of years. I started having extreme pain in my right knee at the end of my workdays recently. So I decided to do some research and I found these shoes and they are amazing! No knee pain anymore!!! They are very comfy, provide great support, and the heal absorbs any shock that contributed to the knee pain I was experiencing. I was a little reluctant at first to purchase these when I saw someone’s review that said these slip, because I’m already clumsy as it is. But I assure you that these don’t slip and I walk on not just tile floor, but concrete as well while at work. At home I’m fine walking on hardwood without slipping as well. I felt it necessary to write a review in hopes that it helps anyone who is struggling to find a good pair of work shoes that provides them with support and comfort they need! I absolutely recommend these. One thing I do want to mention is with work shoes and gym shoes I always go a half size up. So normally I’m a 7, so with these I ordered 7 1/2 and they fit comfortably and perfectI've been wearing these shoes everyday to work and they have held up great. I am on me feet all day and moving around alot and needed new shoes to give me better support to relieve ankle pain. For reference I am plus size and do have wide feet and suffer from foot and ankle pain. These have been awesome. The lift in the heel gives good posture. They are super light weight and soft and easy to put on. I have gotten nice compliments from co-works and customers. Everyone at work noticed them the first day I wore them. I really enjoy them alot. When I finially distroy them from wearing them everyday for work, I will purchase another pair.These shoes are very comfortable. I did some moving over the weekend and they were amazing.The reason for 4 stars vs 5 is there is not much ankle support being that it is all material mesh around top of foot and ankle.Otherwise, it's a great shoe and for the price too.I am still trying to get use to this shoe. It is a slip on but it is not that easy to “slip on”. I would recommend a shoehorn, especially if you have arthritis.The heel has a slight elevation that maybe too much for me to wear for an extended period. It is a roomy shoe, I ordered a half size down, and the fit is perfect, but if you have any problems with your feet, I would not recommend.Fast delivery, looks exactly as pictured & comfortable. They seem to run a little larger. I’m a 9 but could’ve maybe used a 8.5 because it was a little loose in the heel.I love that they have support and are easy to slip on and off. I do wish i had ordered my regular size. I ordered a half a size up because i worried about my feet swelling up. Definitely order your normal size.I use these for working as I have to be on my feet all night.I wore these on my vacation, in fact me and my bestie both ordered these. We lived in these shoes the entire vacation. Walked almost 15-20K steps each day. They were super comfortable and light. I think we ordered .5 size larger than our regular size, but I don't think that was necessary.My mom tried mine on. One day I’m looking for them when I was at her house and she’s giggling as she’s wearing them. She is 86 years old and I give her heck for “shuffling” when she walks as she has gone nose to the pavement once already. She blamed it on her sloppy shoes. So we bought this pair for her so she could have her own. She loves them as much as I love my own pair. She received them and asked me to order a purple pair. My sister also bought a pair!I ordered these black shoes in a size 7 but they were too small, I returned these and got the blue ones in a size 8 they fit perfect. I wanted the black but when I went to order in the size 8 the prime was not offered so i had to pay shipping, so I got the blue ones which had prime feature for free shipping, very strange. Sad thing is I do not wear them as much because the colour sole is white ha,ha, purely a preference thing on my part, they are very comfy and as I was standing all day for my job they were the business, I do recommend if you are standing all day.very uncomfortable, you slip and slide due to cushioning , when walking, they are hard plastic bottoms very very dangerous,,,, I have already slipped twice inside my house,,,, not recommended for outside. seller will not refund full price just 20.00 ,,,,, be aware of this scam NOT AMAZON RECOMMENDED BY MEI purchased these shoes for work. When I got them I had ordered my usual size 9 and they were way too big. I could have gotten away a full size down. They are comfy but I would suggest getting a smaller size as they stretch out while wearing them.I spend about 9 hours a day standing/walking on cement tile floors. Since I’ve had these, I’ve noticed a significant decrease in back, leg, and foot pain. It’s like walking in pillows! But still lots of support
