My sister bought Hokas and was disappointed. Her feet were hurting so bad after work. I noticed there was no arch support in her shoes and I see her arches are collapsed when she walks. I had an extra pair of these and she tried them out. The next day she was so happy her feet felt SO good, she couldn't believe it. That was a year ago and she's still wearing them. My husband tried them because he has plantar facitis. They keep his feet pain free and has bought multiple sets. Excellent product! A++++
