Have purchased two pair of orthofeet for myself, and they do help tremendously with my orthopedic. My wife was complaining about her orthopedic so I suggested getting her a pair of orthopedic. She didn't want to spend $130 on a pair of orthofeet shoes, but I did it anyway. Now she wears them every day in the garden! Holding up pretty well for the abuse they get too! She won't admit it, but I think she really likes the Quantum's and they do help with the orthopedic.
