Chris, at the Wellwise in Sarnia, was super helpful in advising me on products, and I found a good deal online! I really appreciate his guidance. I had been trying orthopedic shoes, and they were only okay. I still woke up in pain. But, with these boots, the pain is gone in the mornings! They are only a little awkward to get used to, but as long as it's properly placed and no fabric is folded (and I don't forget to put them on), it is an impressive amount of relief for me. I am grateful and I'll be sure to visit him in-store soon and let him know that his suggestion helped me.
