I Wasted $1,120 on Shoes Before I Found a Pair Built for My Feet.

Words by Walt M., 62
Retired Machinist

I'm 62, and I've wasted a lot of money on shoes.

$450 on custom orthotics. $175 on running shoes. $165 on Velcro shoes I wore twice. Every pair said it would help. Every pair squeezed my feet.

Last year I added it all up: $1,120.

Then I found a shoe made for men like me. Six bad buys. One good pair. Here's the difference:

1. My Toes Finally Have Room

Most men's shoes are too narrow. My toes were squeezed all day.

These have a wide, round toe box and a true Wide fit. My toes can finally sit flat.

2. They Feel Light on My Feet

My old shoes felt heavy by the afternoon.

These are light. I wear them from breakfast to bedtime.

3. They Still Fit at 3 O'Clock

My feet swell by the afternoon, and my old shoes got tight.

These have a soft, stretchy knit that gives as my feet swell.

4. They're Easy to Put On

I don't like bending down to tie my shoes. With no-tie elastic laces, I don't have to.

Pull the heel tab and step in. That's it.

5. Hard Floors Don't Wear Me Out

Concrete and tile used to wear my feet out. The thick, shock-absorbing sole softens every step.

Now I can stay on my feet all day.

6. I Feel Steady on Wet Floors

Wet floors used to make me nervous. I watched every step.

These have a wide, flat sole and a non-slip outsole. I feel steady. No shoe can prevent every fall, so I still take care.

7. My Arches Finally Have Support

My old shoes were flat inside. My arches had nothing under them.

These have built-in arch support. And if you still use orthotics, the Wide fit has room for them.

8. My Feet Stay Cool

My old shoes made my feet hot and sweaty.

These are made of knit with small holes that let air in.

86% of reviewers said their feet stayed cool and dry all day

9. They Look Like Normal Sneakers

I wouldn't wear those Velcro shoes out of the house.

These look like regular sneakers. I wear them with jeans or chinos, and nobody can tell.

Smart enough for work
"Look clean enough to wear to a work meeting, feel like I'm wearing nothing. Best of both and I didn't expect that."

10. They Come With a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

I spent $1,120 on the wrong shoes and never got a cent back. These were $116.00 CAD, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Wear them outside on real walks. If they're not for you, return them within 30 days for a refund. You just pay the return shipping.

If the size or width is off, the exchange is free.

If your feet are wide like mine, get a shoe built for wide feet.
