Since 1927. Review: Please read before purchasing, save your feet and possibly a hip. - I ordered these for my Mom who is a size 10 as she has multiple pairs in other colors and they were great. I also have these in other colors size 8 and they were true fit and super cozy out of the box. We love them as dress up or down. We also wore them for 6+ hours out of the box without issue. But this silver pair in size 10 is not good at all. I will not introduce other bias from reviews here as I believe these shoes are defective. However, I also believe others have received defective shoes as well (regardless of size/ color). The fit while smaller (even for thin feet) wasn't the worst part of it. The sides seemed unusually wider, and the corners by the big toe bone smaller than the others (not due to wear). I imagine even 'short' term wear (roughly about 3-4 hrs) would cause severe blistering in that area or impact tearing of the skin due to the hardness. If you have square feet, or wide feet, it will be much worse. The front of the foot from the arch is higher than the heel, making walking near impossible if not dangerous. Due to the recess of the heel, it pops suddenly upward and forward. The stiffness of the shoes in this area will stress your Achilles in the best of cases, no matter your foot shape causing pain (felt immediately). In the worst of cases it could cause injury. For seniors and elderly or those with podiatry issues in general, which this shoe caters to; it is my belief that this could lead to tripping/ falling, leading to grievous injury. Imagine walking without planting your foot downward. Nevermind if you have spurs or other issues. I give this 0 out of 5. The default 1 star is (out of my hands) for timely delivery, and likely return window. If you order these, try them immediately upon arrival. I hope you get a normal/ standard pair but we did not. We also do not feel comfortable donating them, thus this is my first return, ever. Review: Considerar el acolchado interno antes de elegir! - Son buenos zapatos, comodos, lindo color. Muy acolchados por o cual sugiero considerar muy bien el talle, ya que ese acolchado ocupa espacio dentro del zapato y puede hacerlos mas ajustados
