I love these shoes. I have diabetic neuropathy in my feet and I have to be really selective with my shoe choices now. I needed a work shoe I could wear to the office. After a year and a half at home due to the pandemic, I couldn't wear slippers all day anymore! I'm surprised at how solid, supportive and how light they are. This stability is super important if you have balance issues like me. They come with multiple spacers and removable arch support, so you get get the fit just right for your feet. They are deep to accommodate your custom inserts.I bought a half size up because I wear thck cushioned socks. I didn't need to because the shoe material is a little stretchy. It's a thick Neoprene material, like a wetsuit. Very ingenious material choice. I don't have to worry at all about rubbing a blister in these shoes. I've never owned Velcros before, but I do not miss tying my shoes, I have bad fingers as well. They are not gorgeous, but look good enough with pants and they are easy to clean just wipe with a wet cloth and they look like new. The shoe is true to size and width.There is so much to like about these. They are more than worth every penny. I will order another pair or maybe two just so I will have these on my feet for years. to come. I will not hesitate to try other OrthoFeet models as well.
