Gravity DefyerG-DEFY Mighty Walk Women’s Orthopedic Walking Shoe | VersoShock Technology for Pain Associated with Running | Prolonged Standing | Arch Support | Diabetic Shoes | Wide Shoes | Free Custom Orthotic

I've just been wearing around the house so far, but they feel super comfy like walking on a cloud! I'm a 9-9.5 wide or x-wide (depending on the brand) & purchased these in a 9.5 x-wide, they fit perfect! I inserted the orthotic enclosed with added arch support bc I have high arches! The best part is they are super cute & don't look like a clown shoe at all! These are def a keeper & I'd consider purchasing another color! I'd recommend these for someone on their feet all day! I'm a senior citizen & these have got to be the most cushioned sneakers I've ever had!UPDATE: I liked these sooooo much that I just purchased them in black, for work!

I needed a supportive shoe to help with my numerous back, sciatica, arthritis and leg issues. After reading the reviews for weeks and pondering what to do I decided to try these shoes. They are very comfortable and supportive. I feel like the shoes supports my foot not only on the bottom but also on the sides. They are roomy in the toe area yet do not feel big. I got a 7 medium and it is true to size. I feel I stand up straighter and my legs don’t ache nearly as bad after being on concrete floors for hours. My balance isn’t that great, but I feel sturdier in them when walking. I like the style and flexibility. At first I felt I would ‘rock’ a little in them but in time that goes away. After wearing around the house for days I knew I wanted to keep them. I would like to get another pair for indoors only but the price has increased quite a bit since I bought mine a couple month ago… could be because they’re so popular now.

I did research on gdefy vs hokas and in the end I chose gdefy for- price point (cheaper than hokas but still pricey for sneakers)- hokas are more for athletes looking for supportive shoes to run in while gdefy is for folks w feet pain (me!) looking for support as they walk/commute/do daily life thingsI only had these for a few days and have walked about 12-15 miles in them over several walks.Pros- very comfortable right from the beginning- adjustable with double soles for fit- Comfortable to walk in despite my inflamed and throbbing heel pain.- i like that they gave me an extra sole pairCons- After a 30-45 min walk, however, my toes / ball of feet started to go numb/hurt forcing me to slow down , Not sure why that is -- maybe I need to break them in, get used to it. I come from years of wearing minimalist shoes so all this extra bulk and support is new to me.- Despite putting both soles in and tightening the shoelaces, my heels still lift slightly as I walk.hoping these shoes will help in the long run as I'm really tired of limping around and grimacing with every step.

I have a real bad case of planters, both feet, the pain, the cramping, in heel, really bad arch cramps, ball of the foot, up the ankles, the shim pain/cramps (only relief is screaming), the calf and hamstring cramps. Those of us that suffer from this, know we are all different and we try anything and everything for relief, which I did. Countless pairs of shoes, just about everything on Amazon, exercises, massaging, custom and non-custom inserts and a long list of other things. A few of the things gave me some relief but it was temporary. I went from being very active to being unable to walk more than 100 feet or so, without being in agony. My life was negativity impacted, I could not function like a normal person, always in agony, not being able to walk and having to leave functions early because of pain. People said things to me, I am a small person and I work out with weight, I got a lot comments about looking like I was in great shape which led a snarky what is wrong with you. We all know comments effect our mental wellbeing.Someone I volunteer with, who has planter symptoms similar to mine, told me these shoes changed her life and I need to get a pair. I did because I will try anything for relief. I wish I knew about these shoes, a year ago because I really suffered with planters this past year. This summer, it was unbearable, consistent cramping and agony, which I knew some of the pain was related to the mule type of "sneakers" was wearing, maybe too often. My PT did talk to me about these mules and flip flops, more than once.I get them, the instructions include, they must be snug. This is something my PT went over with me, there are inserts that you have to try out for the snuggest fit and with the type of socks you wear most often., this is REALLY important. You are supposed to break them in, these shoes make you walk "right", heel to toe, with a roll, which stretches the arch, the PT exercise includes stretching out your toes. These shoes are much easier to walk the "right" way than the PT exercise. This shoes also prevent you from "toe walking" up the stairs. They DO take a while to get used to, you will also notice pings in muscles because the "right" muscles are being fired. I think the instructions include for a "few" days. My PT called this "mindful walking", you do not have to think about it with these shoes. Second day I had them, I wore them to my volunteer job, which includes standing on pavement for hours, first time in over a year I made it for the five hours......no pain, no cramps, no screaming. I have had them 17 days now, I can be on my feet and walk for hours again! Yesterday it was 14 hours.....no pain or screaming or wanting to go home. My life has completely changed, already.Since I have had them, I did have one MINOR attack of cramping, which was a several times a day thing and there were very few nights I did not wake up screaming in cramping pain. It was not as intense and short in duration, I was able to walk it out, in a few minutes.My husband even noticed the difference in me.....I am able to walk, not complaining about pain or demanding to go home. These shoes changed my life, I know it is going to take a while, there will be setbacks, but I am on the way to being my normal self. Not everything works for everyone, these are worth a try.

I was amazed by “what’s in the box” 😁. Not only good orthotics in the shoe but two other items to get the best fit and comfort. Walked 4 miles on first use and I’m a 73 yo retired physical therapist. Have already recommended this shoe to a few friends. Nice job.

Like them so much I’m considering buying a second pair. I have one fallen arch and did not realize how much it affected my overall skeletal alignment until I put these on with the included orthotics. Comfortable, supportive, the toe box is roomy without causing slippage in the ankle. And they come in my favorite color, aqua. Great shoe. Just walked a mile no breaking in necessary.
