@becsbuddy, Hi, Becky, Yes, I was lucky not to fall. I've had the shoes 2 yrs but really didn't start my walking regime until Jan. 2020. I was really surprised this happened. Fortunately I have another pair but they aren't quite as comfortable so may take a shorter walk or two to see how they perform. A good friend fell in her garage and broke her hip. It was a clean break and luckily her garage door was open; a neighbor heard her and called EMS. Told earlier in the week she'd be in rehab 2 more weeks but today doc said she was mending well and could go home this coming Tues. She is so happy! At home p.t. and home health beats the rehab facility, yes?
