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 debated about spending this much on a pair of sneakers for myself. But I suffer from Achilles tendonitis and neuropathy, so I took a chance and splurged. I'm glad I did! I have bought several other pairs of cheaper tennis shoes trying to find some that offered both the comfort and support that I needed. It was hard to find the right fit and the styles were awful! I even have been to the podiatrist to get prescription shoes (ugly!) and special-made prescription inserts to help.I came up on this brand and saw this shoe. I didn't hold out much hope that they would be any different, but I went for it. Omg ... these are wonderful! They fit true-to-size (I wear 8.5w). They come with two different sets of inserts to use, if needed. These fit me great right out of the box! They had the perfect support - no inserts necessary! No break-in time needed. They were SO comfortable! The light blue color is very pretty. They look classy. I am so glad I found these shoes ... they are worth every penny! From now on, these will be my go-to shoes for everything!

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.

I did research on gdefy vs hokas and in the end I chose gdefy for- price point (cheaper than hokas but still pricey for sneakers)- hokas are more for athletes looking for supportive shoes to run in while gdefy is for folks w feet pain (me!) looking for support as they walk/commute/do daily life thingsI only had these for a few days and have walked about 12-15 miles in them over several walks.Pros- very comfortable right from the beginning- adjustable with double soles for fit- Comfortable to walk in despite my inflamed and throbbing heel pain.- i like that they gave me an extra sole pairCons- After a 30-45 min walk, however, my toes / ball of feet started to go numb/hurt forcing me to slow down , Not sure why that is -- maybe I need to break them in, get used to it. I come from years of wearing minimalist shoes so all this extra bulk and support is new to me.- Despite putting both soles in and tightening the shoelaces, my heels still lift slightly as I walk.hoping these shoes will help in the long run as I'm really tired of limping around and grimacing with every step.

OK, so I assumed that ortho shoes are ugly. But I guess I was wrong. These are not bad at all. The sole is very cushy. They are very light and come with three insole pairs, granted one is just flat and thin but can be used in case one needs it. I am usually a standard 8M and the size is just right, any smaller and I would have considered a half size larger. But they fit fine with a pair of performance socks. Overall I am happy and I will consider this brand again.

This tennis shoe is great and as soon as I put the shoe on I realized my knee was not hurting anymore. The problem is Ihave to have wide toe bed ad extra wide shoe. This had both when ordered. The toe bed not wide enough and extra wide really not extra wide. Hate that I have to send back as after on1 1/2 hours they were hurting my toes. .

Absolutely love the shoes they come with free insoles by the way. Do not be afraid to use one corrective and one comfort if it feels a little odd. Use the spacers. Tell do exactly what they tell you to do and you will be mind-blown. You put these shoes on, within 5 minutes there is zero pain. nothing in your ankles, backs & knees. I have worked on my feet for over 40 years. In the past three or four I have literally became completely mobility impaired and not able to walk- because of how bad my ankles and knees and back are. I put these shoes on and I have walked across the street & back for the first time in months. These shoes are a lifesaver. They are super comfy very sturdy you can tell they will be a long wear shoe. Not oh I'll be buying another pair in 3 months. You will want a 2nd pair by 3 months !

These are great shoes for anyone standing for lengthy periods at work

Extremely good shoes worth the money. I suffer with a fractured spine and unable to walk much without pain. With this shoes I have walked for more than 5 to 6 hours without much pain. Love it.

These runners are the best shoes if you have problems with ur feet. I couldn’t walk because I had planters fasciitis and it was like walking on a cloud thanks gravity this is my second pair
