G-DEFY Mighty Walk Women’s Orthopedic Walking Shoe | VersoShock Technology for Pain Associated with Running | Prolonged Standing | Arch Support | Diabetic Shoes | Wide Shoes | Free Custom Orthotic

I wear Ideal Feet orthotics, I have for over 15 years. I had ordered a bunch of shoes to try, different brands. I was disappointed in the first four pairs that arrived—Three were not supportive enough, with foam that collapsed under my foot. Another was just ugly and uncomfortable. I almost cancelled this order for the G-DEFY shoes to stick with my prior brand. I really expected them to be just like the others. I am really very surprised. The shoes feel amazing. They have “foam” but they feel just as supportive as my prior shoes, very much so (I tried one on of each, together); yet they feel like they have so much more cushion and impact absorption when I walk. They feel very, very good on my feet, and with my orthotics, also when I walk. And they have a higher heel than my others, which I wanted to support my achilles. I am under 40, and they are super cute. I ordered the Mighty Walk Women’s walking shoe, in the “gray” color with light sole and black accents. They seem great for work. I really appreciate that they have a 60 day guarantee, because I need to see if they continue to hold up as I wear them. I will update my review. I pronate, and these shoes seem like they will be very good for that. I have never worn such tall tennis shoes, but they feel very, very comfortable—unlike some other taller shoes I had tried on, which all felt very awkward and unnatural, and not supportive. These feel pillowy, yet very supportive. Again, I need to wear them over time, but I’ve never tried on shoes like these before. Very grateful to get to try them.

I really like these shoes! Easy to wear, I have neuropathy so it is hard to find the right shoes and I am glad I found such a comfortable shoes, they are easy to slip into it I can walk for longs walks without feeling pain or stiffness in the bottom of my feet. It has helped me also with less pain in my knee. I like the room that it provides in my toes and the top as any pressure or touch can set my nerves on my feet to uncomfortable pain and tingling. One thing I am glad I did was to follow their directions to wear them in increments of time just to break them in.

These are the best orthopedic shoes well worth the money I always wait for them to go on sale... I currently own four pairs and they've helped my legs my hips and my back... I also have a bunion on my right foot and there is no pain in wearing these shoes

They just arrived - I opened the box and read the papers included in the box. It is suggested to wear these for 1-2 hours at a time for the first few days to “break them in” and adjust to the correction this show provides. I love that even in the first 10 minutes of putting them on and wearing around the house, I felt relief. They come with a comfort sole inside, and then a separate correction sole. There is an additional yellow layer that you can put underneath the insole to help with slipping if this is an issue for you - I do not have this issue but love that they thought of this. I wear a size 9 medium width shoe, and I purchased the size 9 medium shoe and the fit is true to size. As someone who feels like I have big feet, I feel like these make my foot look smaller, which is another bonus for me. These sneakers are really soft and cushioned nicely, and the material feels thick and solid. I cannot comment on the durability of these because I just got them, but I will update my review in a month or two after wearing them on a regular basis. I may buy these in another color!

This shoe is very comfortable with a great cushion. Was able to put on and start my 3 mile walk. I did not have to break them in. I always wear size 8, with these I had to return and reorder a 81/2. The return was no hassle - good customer service.

I have a real bad case of planters, both feet, the pain, the cramping, in heel, really bad arch cramps, ball of the foot, up the ankles, the shim pain/cramps (only relief is screaming), the calf and hamstring cramps. Those of us that suffer from this, know we are all different and we try anything and everything for relief, which I did. Countless pairs of shoes, just about everything on Amazon, exercises, massaging, custom and non-custom inserts and a long list of other things. A few of the things gave me some relief but it was temporary. I went from being very active to being unable to walk more than 100 feet or so, without being in agony. My life was negativity impacted, I could not function like a normal person, always in agony, not being able to walk and having to leave functions early because of pain. People said things to me, I am a small person and I work out with weight, I got a lot comments about looking like I was in great shape which led a snarky what is wrong with you. We all know comments effect our mental wellbeing. Someone I volunteer with, who has planter symptoms similar to mine, told me these shoes changed her life and I need to get a pair. I did because I will try anything for relief. I wish I knew about these shoes, a year ago because I really suffered with planters this past year. This summer, it was unbearable, consistent cramping and agony, which I knew some of the pain was related to the mule type of "sneakers" was wearing, maybe too often. My PT did talk to me about these mules and flip flops, more than once. I get them, the instructions include, they must be snug. This is something my PT went over with me, there are inserts that you have to try out for the snuggest fit and with the type of socks you wear most often., this is REALLY important. You are supposed to break them in, these shoes make you walk "right", heel to toe, with a roll, which stretches the arch, the PT exercise includes stretching out your toes. These shoes are much easier to walk the "right" way than the PT exercise. This shoes also prevent you from "toe walking" up the stairs. They DO take a while to get used to, you will also notice pings in muscles because the "right" muscles are being fired. I think the instructions include for a "few" days. My PT called this "mindful walking", you do not have to think about it with these shoes. Second day I had them, I wore them to my volunteer job, which includes standing on pavement for hours, first time in over a year I made it for the five hours......no pain, no cramps, no screaming. I have had them 17 days now, I can be on my feet and walk for hours again! Yesterday it was 14 hours.....no pain or screaming or wanting to go home. My life has completely changed, already. Since I have had them, I did have one MINOR attack of cramping, which was a several times a day thing and there were very few nights I did not wake up screaming in cramping pain. It was not as intense and short in duration, I was able to walk it out, in a few minutes. My husband even noticed the difference in me.....I am able to walk, not complaining about pain or demanding to go home. These shoes changed my life, I know it is going to take a while, there will be setbacks, but I am on the way to being my normal self. Not everything works for everyone, these are worth a try.

ADDENDUM: This item seems to take FOREVER to arrive. I decided to give these another try and ordered an 11 EXTRA wide and returned the 10 wide. Given how long these take to arrive, I decided to just repurchase the bigger size and returned the other pair for refund. As stated below I'm usually a 9.5 and my foot is considered narrow with a high arch. Ithought the 11XXW would be HUGE on my left foot but was necessary for the right which is still swollen from ankle surgery. This size actually fits BOTH feet well. The left has a little extra room but when tied snuggly is comfortable. The right which also has plates and screws in it now, fits perfectly. The arch support is not great. So I replaced them with my Superfeet arches. I have this sneaker in a 10 regular. The "box toe" is too narrow and tight and the size runs small. I'm usually a 9.5 and I would have been more comfortable in an 11. I recently broke my ankle and had ORIF surgery. I now need a wide width for my right foot. Since I've always found shoes ordered as a wide run too big on my I ordered a 10 WIDE in the same shoe so that I could just wear the reg on my left and wide on my right. Typically shoes that are wide have a "W" label after the size. This does not. Only on the model number does it show a "W" at the end of it. The box shoes nothing either. In trying the sneaker on I honestly notice no difference at all in width. The sneaker has hope with it's "rocker" bottom however I don't see where they are worth the cost and time it takes to get them. ADDENDUM: This item seems to take FOREVER to arrive.

I replaced them with my Superfeet arches. I do feel that now I'm walking better, feel more supported and I really do enjoy the rocker bottom. And despite being labeled an 11XXW, they don't "look" like they are and I don't feel like I have clown feet as I have with a size 10 in other brands. I'm still not sure they're worth the cost. I have Ryka and Propet sneakers arriving tomorrow and they were not as expensive but also have the rocker bottom and claim good arch support. I'm looking forward to comparing the brands as prior to my ankle break I was NOT a sneaker person so I hope to find SOMETHING that helps take this new pain away.

On feet for over 12 hour shifts. Feel like these help me stand up straighter and do reduce foot pain. They are a bit wide even for the normal width but I kinda like the roominess. My new work sneakers!
