Best WALKING Shoe ever!!
Don’t write many reviews but felt I needed to for these shoes. I walk my dog approx 3 miles 5-6 days a week at approx 16 minute miles. I have had many top brand name Running Shoes that were decent but wore out quickly.I’ve only got maybe 10 miles of walking in these but BY FAR the most comfortable I’ve ever worn.I’m 58yr old 5’11” 215lbs. They came with 2 insoles, Comfort Fit & Orthotic Fit, Comfort were great but tried the Orthotic and was even better.They def add a little spring to your step & very very comfortable.I read reviews saying they run a little small, I typically wear size 10.5 so went with 11 W & fit perfectly.I can’t say they be great for Running, but only cause the soles are thick & shoe isn’t “Light” like a Running Shoe.As for Walking, if that’s what your looking for PLEASE give these a try

Super Comfy and Supportive!
Buy them, give them a try! I ordered a 12W and a 13W. 12W fits well, but would have preferred a 12 1/2 option just to be sure. Very comfortable; the orthotic inserts gave my arch a nice firm lift, even though the preinstalled "comfort fit" inserts provided, by themselves, better support than most other shoes. With either pair of inserts, the heel cup is nice and snug. Almost a little too much bounce but, after all, they are meant to prevent shock from traveling to the ankles, knees, etc. They have greatly eased my plantar fasciitis almost to the point of elimination within four days. I've been icing that heel at night but no longer feel the need.I'm unsure if it is the trampoline effect of the heel, its height, or the general design of the soles that tend to make the wearer want to "lean" forward while walking, but this sensation is effective in aiding forward propulsion after taking a while for your stride to adjust to it.Folks complimented the aesthetics as well, even though I ordered what I thought was a conservative beige, because there is a very nice, sparkle effect in the upper fabric! The webpage photos do not do justice to the very attractive AND breathable fabric. Even though I was more interested in the comfort and fit, I almost wish I'd ordered one of the other, more colorful versions.I'll monitor their durability, and update this critique within the 60-day window they allow for defects.

Grid pattern on soles traps gravel
These shoes are quite remarkable. Construction, fit, comfort, and support are superb. They are among the best crosstraining/walking shoes I've ever worn. The only issue I have is with the soles--specifically the finely crosshatched grid pattern which picks up fine gravel and doesn't release it. Attempts to brush it away are mostly futile. I don't see how the soles can provide adequate traction when most of the spaces get loaded up with small pebbles. Removing the shoes before coming indoors (which of course, many would do anyway) is mandatory to prevent scratching the floor and tracking occasional gravel through the house. If G-Defy modified the sole to fix this problem, It would be 5 stars for sure.

Best shoes ever.
These are the most comfortable shoes. I have purchased many types but nothing compares. I have diabetes and get shoes and inserts thru my insurance and I still will buy the green brand. You can't go wrong.

Now my feet feel Good !
I was born with very flat feet. When I was 25, I started having pain. After many Drs and custom orthotics, at 31 I had surgery on my right foot and more orthotics. Recently at 67, more Dr's P.T., and PAIN. I gave these a try...If your feet ever hurt or if they do not hurt. Please just give these sneakers a try. I put them on and I felt like I should go run a 5K. They do run small. I got a 1/2 size larger and then I walked 2 miles. I should do a 5K soon. Now my feet are ready !!!

Best orthopedic shoe I've ever worn
These shoes are my second pair of gdefy and I couldn't be happier. They look great, wear great and working long hours on concrete doesn't fatigue my back

Cheap product that is cheaply made
I've had these shoes for 2 months. During the first week of wearing them, the tounge strap snapped. Within the first month and a half, the soles started to peel off of the bottom. This is after wearing them everyday in an office environment as a business owner.I created a ticket with customer service and they have not been responsive. Giving a negative review is my second to last option, which I wish I didn't have to do.My last option will be to make sure that all of my followers know that this company does not do the right thing and to avoid buying these. Save your $200ish.You will have a better experience with the original "rocker sole" shoe, even though they might be more expensive. I have a pair that has lasted over a year with no problems and using them in the same environment.Who wants to spend $200 for a couple of months of use. What a waste of money. Cheaper is just that...
