" The Bostonian shoes I recently got from you saved my life. Well,
they've saved quality of life. I'm old. I've had spinal and joint
arthritis for years, even wore steel arch supports, was told three years
ago that immediate knee surgery was necessary (not yet). Maybe too much
golf, two freeway rear-enders, bad posture, cheap shoes for most of my
life, old men's white sneakers in retirement trying to walk without
pain... I did ease the pain intermittently with ice packs, heating pads,
mechanical massagers, and chiropractor visits, seemingly spending half my
time humoring my joints, reluctantly getting my feet because it always
hurt. I got a pair of Bostonian Phoenix, and what a difference! Maybe it
sounds unbelievable, but somehow the support they give my feet prompts me
into erect carriage and strikingly reduces vertebra drift and need for
heat or massage therapy. Walking is a pleasure now. I bought two more
pair, and when needed, I'll order more. They're all I wear now except when
doing yard work. I really appreciate the combination leather/rubber sole
vs. all-leather sole to give me firmer traction. I'll soon try another,
dressier style and hope that its footpad and arch support are the same. "
