I own another pair of this same black-on-black shoe, purchased several years ago, which is discontinued now. Thus, I was thrilled to be able to find an overseas vendor that still had some limited availability, even if it meant paying a premium price to have shipped. I really have a challenging time finding shoes which fit me properly. But I really like the ArchFit feature in this model, with thicker soles and cushion in the heels area, which provides me elevated height when I walk. It's like walking on a cloud, in fact. I also like the fact that the shoe provides a comfortably snug fit in the heels, with no slippage, which I commonly run across with other shoes. Well worth the price!
