These shoes are quite comfortable. I seem to be shuffling less with them.

Comfortable, well made, easy to take care of and warm in the cold weather. I bought these for house shoes as I don't like to wear outdoor shoes inside the house, especially in the winter.

SusanLD, I wanted to reply to you myself. Comfortable, well made, easy to take care of, and warm when it's cold out. And you picked them as your house shoes, so the outdoor shoes can stay at the door all winter. I love that. That is exactly what we hoped for you. Thank you for taking the time to share this. Truly. Anytime you need us, we are right here. With warmth, Jess Founder of Oobend

After trying several other brands and styles, these oobend shoes are a PLEASANT SURPRISE. They’re Iike wearing slippers. I’ve got adema in my right foot which makes putting on regular shoes torturous. Very happy with my purchase. Thank you.

R. Paradoski, I wanted to reply to you myself. Thank you. Reading this made my whole day. Several other brands and styles tried, swelling in your right foot that makes regular shoes torture to put on, and then ours feel like wearing slippers. A pleasant surprise for you is exactly what we hoped for. Thank you for giving us a chance after so many others let you down. I'm so glad they are making each day a little easier.

Jeffery Lee R.
the only thing i regret about these shoes is that i didnt order them sooner. i have really bad neuropathy in my legs and feet from a stroke i had a few years ago and plantar fascitis in my left foot. some days are better some are worse. but my feet hurt really bad most days and i just grit my teeth and tank the pain and go on as best as i can. becaust thats what men my age do. id had these shoes on my list of things to try for several months. but i thought they are kinda expensive. and having too much money has never been a problem for me un fortunately so like the riverboat gambler that i am i decided to roll the dice on these shoes with the funny name ,thinking why the heck not. ive had the shoes about 10 days now and i can tell you the dice came up double 6`s i am so happy with these shoes! i dont understand how they work but they do! dont misunderstand me. im not saying my pain is zero. i still feel some pain when i walk or stand but its so much less than with my other shoes (which are in the trash by the way)i can get around so much better i have a problem with my balance when i stand up thats a lot better now too. long story short these helped me. i think they might help you too. im telling all my friends about them a few have already ordered some. if i could give them 7 stars i would do that i will never be without a pair of these shoes ever again if i can help it .my biggest problem now is deciding on what color my next par will be i ordered the black with black souls and i really like them but i also like the army green and grey ones too. i wonder what color you will get...

Jeffery, We've read your review more than once. Thank you for sitting down and writing all of this. Most people who are happy with something just move on with their day. You stopped to tell us your whole story, and we don't take that lightly. Your first line got us: the only regret is not ordering sooner. We're sorry for all the months your feet hurt while these shoes sat on your list. But we're so glad they're finally on your feet. What you've been living with since your stroke is hard. Neuropathy in your legs and feet, plantar fasciitis in your left foot, good days and bad days, and gritting your teeth to keep going anyway, because that's what men your age do. That's real toughness. We can't take away what you've been through. But hearing that these shoes made your days a little lighter means more to us than any sale. On the price, you're right. They're not cheap, and it's fair to think twice. So when you say you rolled the dice on shoes with a funny name, we know what that took. Thank you for betting on us, riverboat gambler. We're glad the dice came up double 6's. You said you don't understand how they work. Here's the simple version: most shoes squeeze your toes together. Ours give your toes room to spread out, and the flexible sole lets your foot move the way it was built to. No magic, just giving your feet their room back. Thank you also for being honest that the pain isn't zero. We'd never promise that, and we respect you for saying it. "So much less," getting around better, and standing up with better balance after only 10 days is the part that made us smile the most. (And your old shoes are exactly where they belong.) Telling your friends is the biggest compliment anyone can give a small brand like us. To the ones who already ordered: welcome to the family. We'll take all 7 stars. We'll keep the extra two as a reminder of why we do this. Now for the question you left us with: what color would we get? Since you already have Black on Black, we'd go Army Green. It's the one that says "I know what I'm doing." Grey is the easygoing pick for every day. Either way, it sounds like you won't be without a pair again. We're not stopping here. We'll keep improving our shoes, and stories like yours are what push us to do it. Give us a little time, and we'll bring you and everyone else something even better. Thank you, Jeffery. Here's to many more good days on your feet.
