A few years ago I ordered a pair of Birkenstocks from QVC. I had such high expectations for them. I had to send them back...I have long toes and my toes hung off the front. I was so disappointed.
Be warned... for years and years I always went barefoot around the house..some times for days at a time. Fast forward to two years ago when I went to a foot doctor and he xrayed my feet, he told me I have clapsed arches and arthritis in my feet. He was surprised I was not having any pain. Well now it's two years later and I NOW feel the pain. I hurt a little with every step I take. Now I am only shoeless when I am in bed or in the shower! If only I could turn back the clock....
