I have more issues with the soles of my feet. Not the heels, like plantar fascitis, but the bottoms being unable to tolerate certain styles. So I look for comfort on the bottom . . . and some support. Surprisingly the birks have a good arch in them. Danskos have taken such good care of me that I have 5 pairs right now, and wanted a sixth . . . like this limited edition style . . .


But when I tried them on they did not fit as well as my others, or maybe it was a warm day and my feet had swelled. Either way, I didn't plunk down any $$ for them that day! Some seem cut differently even though they are the same style.
