first off Jim be my husband , but I love love love these shoe . this be my second pair . I also have a 3 strap pair which be nice but I come back for the 2 strap . they be more comfortable for I . I remodel my house and put ceramic tile through out . it be easier to clean and look nice . but it give I back ache and I find that my back be tire after be on my foot for very long . I order my first pair of burky because I think they would help . and help they do . I no longer have back ache from stand on the hard floor and my back do not get tired even when I be on my foot all day and these shoe be the reason why . I wear they every day in the summer without sock and every day in the winter with sock . I wear dress shoe to church or out but as soon as I get home out come my burky and my foot immediately feel better . my posture be better and my foot look better . I have a high arch and it be take a beating in my high price tennis shoe that be suppose to be so supportive . now my foot be back to better health then they have be since I be a teenager . I be afraid my arch be ruin and I be go to have problem and would have to live with it . but , thank the good lord . I tell everyone get these shoe even if you have flat or I should say especially if you have flat foot . these will help you more then any foot doctor can .
