I have bought a lot of expensive shoes in past and always suffer when standing at my demo job with foot pain after 6 hours. My toes squished together. Well one day my yoga instructor showed me her shoes and gave me the name Lems and told me to go on line and order a pair as they had a wider box for the toes and that would help my feet. So i did and am so glad i ordered the woman's Mariner size 10. I usually take a size 8.5 but now a 9 since my arches are falling in my old age 71years. These shoes fit perfectly with no break-in time, room for my expensive orthotics, allow me to wiggle my toes and don't rub my hammer head toe or my bunion. my toes now have freedom to spread out since i cut off the front part of my pressure stockings. Winter is coming and i want a warmer shoe for outside and for standing at my table that won't get wet but will keep my feet warm and allow toes wiggle room. None of my old boots will do that so i just ordered Lem's waterproof boulder boots for this cold wet season that will soon be upon us. looking forward to their arrival. Love to Lems from Canada.
