I've been living in these shoes for the past 3 1/2 years, since I was diagnosed with diabetes. At the time, I bought 2 pairs, and have switched off between the two.
It didn't take long to "break in" the shoe, but it took quite a bit to wear down the sole. Even then, I wore them until the top stitching started to unravel. (At 275lbs., I'm usually hard on my shoes.)
Thankfully, my diabetic neuropathy has eased considerably in those years, but when I was first diagnosed, I literally couldn't walk barefoot due to the pain. The Aetrex walkers, with a couple of inserts, allowed me to walk normally and comfortably. And despite the squarish toe (when current style is "elf" shoes!), most people don't identify them as diabetic shoes.
As far as THIS purchase, the price was well lower than Aetrex' own website, Amazon said 5-9 days for shipping and I got them in 2, well-packaged, in great shape, and they were comfortable immediately out of the box. So, I'll be buying 2 more pairs in the next couple of weeks.
Sorry if I sound too satisfied - I'll try to grumble in my next review of something!

I have a high arched foot and the right one is sensitive to a shoe that is too short. So, these shoes are great for me.

Plus they are simply really well made.

Don't get me wrong, I love Aetrex walkers; I currently own six pairs, including a brown, size 12 in this style. I ORDERED a black version of this model in size 12, along with another style. I RECEIVED a size 13 Extra WIIIIDDDEEE in BROWN! That having been said I returned the product to the vendor, got my credit within 24 hours of their receipt of the product and a confirmation from Amazon, same day. Great service from Amazon and the second party retailer, but the Aetrex fulfillment warehouse SUCKS! They also screwed up a totally different order (inserts) with the wrong size. Amazon should scold AETREX. Great products, lousy service. I'm still undecided as to whether or not I place another order for Aetrex products.
Phew!
