I just got back from walking with my new Cheeks incline walkers. It is the best my feet and knees have done this spring. Yesterday I purchased a temporary orthotics insole for 47.00 and then today these shoes arrived. My purchase was a desperate attempt at finding anything to relieve this heel pain that has flared up over the last few years. A reoccurring problem since 1990. I am 60 years old and need to lose at least 50 lbs. But if I can't walk without pain, life is no fun. So far so good. I will keep you posted but it will be interesting as I am waiting on 400.00 orthotics to be made. What will they think of your shoes? I know what my feet are saying, Thank You, me too! Yours sincerely, Becky Thank You
