Everyone has their own shoe story. The most impotant aspect is being able to try them out and seeing how they feel. The company MUST offer a reasonable 30 or 60 day wear policy, like the Oofos that I purchased. Looked great on the TV ad. On my feet they were terrible. Returned just a couple of days after purchase. Make sure any online shoes have a return policy that allows you to WEAR THEM. Some do not, apparently.
