I ordered one even tho I am from the Philippines. I asked my cousin to ship it for me. Although I'm not a nurse, I am a phlebotomist (and a medical laboratory scientist too) so walking throughout the hospital (also inside the lab) always make my feet sore. I am so excited to try those shoes! ♡

Thank you for your review. It was very helpful. Wondering if you think those insoles are supportive for people with high arches? Just like you mentioned, I always wear those Dr. Scholl's insoles for arch support and fasciitis pain but really would like to try these if they are supportive and water proof.

@@Katherine_Ann thanks and I did. they said there may have been potential fraud and that they put a hold on my order. I couldn't understand why they didn't reach out to me about potential fraud so we could have fixed the situation. I used my debit card and made sure I had plenty of money before the purchase. So I ended up buying a different brand and getting a refund. No one explained to me the reason it was flagged. They just said it would take 2 weeks for me to get my refund.
