After trying several other walking shoes, I finally hit it right with the Acacia color on Pace Glove. This shoe fits my very narrow heal perfectly without slipping. The toe box, while tapered, is a little wide, which, I believe, is for added stability. With a removable insole, the shoe easily accommodates my sport orthodic. No break-in was necessary, and I experienced total comfort from the start. I have been required to wear orthotics since January and they would only fit in 1 pair of my shoes. A friend in Florida recommended the Stability Walker and I have to agree. By removing the innersoles, my orthotics fit perfect. My physical therapist agrees that the Stability Walkers are a good quality sneaker and provide the support in the right areas for good foot health. I now have 2 pair of shoes that I can wear!!!
I am very happy with my Stability Walkers. I have some knee pain now and then and need good arch support to keep it from acting up. These shoes are very comfortable to wear and provide great support. They really help with my knee. I am very happy that I did! I have recently ordered a pair of sandals and am hoping they will be as comfortable as the Stability Walker's. I'm on my feet all day and my feet still feel good at the end of the day. I have a history of ankle instability and these shoes make me feel confident enough to play volleyball without worry of injury. I'm disappointed in the laces, they never seem to hold up well. I'm also disappointed with the inside back of the shoe right above where your heel sits. The inside fabric seems to wear away much too soon after purchase.
I was unable to purchase the Propet Flex Walker (which is what I usually buy) so I gave the Acacia a try. It is a more substantial shoe than the flex walker. It has excellent support and is extremely comfortable and springy. However, they are a heavier shoe and I find them to be a little clunky. But the relief from my foot pain makes this "dislike" easy to over look. I would definitely recommend this shoe if you have feet, knee or back trouble. Just be sure to allow a day or two to "break them in" and get used to the support that they provide compared to other shoes.
