“The Jury's Still Out”

“These are my first Earth shoes. I bought them because my podiatrist recommended this brand for my Morton's Neuroma (sensitivity under ball of foot). The shoes succeeded in decreasing my ball of foot pain. However one side was a little narrow so I stretched the strap until it stopped chaffing my small toe. Also unfortunately I find them rather unflattering on my feet, which are rather large for my height. I think they make my feet look 2 sizes larger than normal (the dreaded "clown feet" look). Also, don't know if it's just me, but starting in the second week of wear, one shoe makes a "rude" noise every time I step on it. I'm thinking about applying moleskin or some sort of covering on the arch of the footbed to see if that will stop the air-expelling sound. Summary: the shoe makes my feet feel good but not look good :/”
