Great rocker trainers.
I received my new rockers the next day of ordering them, yesterday. I am glad I read and took note of most of the reviews. I am normally a size 5 but got a 6 as advised. They fit me perfectly in length as a size 5 would. I have a narrow foot but using an Orthopidic sole takes a bit more space above my foot, although I have discovered the laces are not just for show, so I pulled them to close the gap. I have a very expensive pair of rocker trainers that I bought because I tend to trip a lot in normal shoes, rockers seemed to have solved this because of the front of the shoes turn up. These new ones look nicer than my other pair but the best things of all apart from the very good price is these are non slip, I put this to the test today in the wet on uneven ground. My expensive ones were great until one day I wore them out in the rain, and slipped, I then lost my confidence again while walking. I wear these new trainers in the hospital where I work, they are perfect. They look good with my nurse trousers, not looking too bulky. I’m sure they will look equally good in my normal tighter jeans. I will put this to the test tomorrow. Also important, they are very light and comfortable, plus an added bonus, they exercise my legs and bum. I kept them on all day.1 full week of using these trainers. Still very comfortable but while was in a supermarket this evening I did slip with these on. The floor was not wet or greasy so not sure why I slipped. It wasn’t enough to lose confidence in these. It’s great that I am no longer tripping. Another week gone by and it is icy outside. These were great. I walked with caution as with any footwear, these held up very well. Snow 3 inches deep. My feet kept dry and warm. THESE ARE SO GOOD 😊.

Comfortable
These Boston trainers are a roller type trainer. They are so comfortable to walk in for long periods of time without aches or pain.They are a strong and durable trainer that's easy to clean with a slightly damp cloth.A very good purchase.

Ok so far...
Very pleased with delivery - ordered on Tuesday, arrived on Wednesday.I purchased these as I suffer with a lot of pain, particularly in my right foot, which has an artificial joint and which can't bend much. I was hoping that a rocker sole might relieve some pain by helping me to walk without having to bend my toes. The soles are very inflexible, which I'd expect from rocker soles, but the insoles have no give in them at all, which for my feet is quite uncomfortable - it's a bit like walking in wooden clogs. I've ordered some leather insoles which hopefully might help.The material of the uppers is also very stiff, which again, makes them uncomfortable for my feet, but hopefully they will break in with more wear. However, it does make it hard to tighten the laces. And speaking of the laces, they are a bit short for this shoe. I've had to re-lace them and miss out the bottom holes just to make them long enough to lace up.Some other reviewers have commented that they are a wide fitting shoe. I did not find this at all. I do have quite wide feet, but they are only just ok for me. I ordered in my shoe size, rather than a size up as another reviewer suggested, and found that this was ok - there's enough "wiggle room" for my toes. Only time will tell if they become more comfortable with wear and if they actually help with my foot pain. I'm wearing them to my office job today, which is mostly sitting down. Tomorrow I will be wearing them to my other job at a care home, where I'm on my feet for 8 hours a day. Fingers crossed, but I'll take an old pair of shoes with me to wear, just in case.

They work
Ok so I suffer with arthritis in my big toe, with not bearing the weight correctly on my foot, I also suffer with Morton's nauroma. The pain is excruciating being on my feet all day at work. I've tried so many different trainers/shoes, insoles etc but nothing can help ease the pain.I decided to try these shoes & I've actually had my 1st day (pain free) for years at work today.The sole of the shoe is arched up to keep your foot pad/toes from bearing weight on them.True there not the prettiest of shoes & look a bit bulky but who cares.These are game changers for anyone like me who suffers with foot pain,I'm now looking at different colours so I can wear regularly.I can't recommend these highly enough, it's a no brainer just buy... 😁

Not great for me
Bought these as physio recommended rocker shoes for a foot injury and these were substsntially cheaper than recommended make to try out. Very cheap fabric and they actually cause my foot to ache more after wearing. Glad I bought a cheap version as I think its way of walking thats hurting more. But they are not my style and cheap looking so wont be wearing again.

Excellent support while waiting for treatment for a toe injury
I very rarely leave reviews but just had to come on here to recommend these shoes! I fractured one of my toes recently and the x-ray identified an underlying condition called Frieberg's Infraction which means its painful to push off at at the front of my foot. These were recommended by a podiatrist and they have transformed my ability to get around while I wait for the appointment with an orthopaedic specialist . The solid sole and rolling motion of the shoe means that I can walk and move around much more freely without having to worry about catching my to and without any pain. I can also walk much further than without them. I followed the advice on many of the reviews and got a size larger than I normally would. This is good advice if you want plenty of room around the toe area though it does mean the heel is a bit sloppy on me. But I've fitted a heel grip and it's fine. These are excellent value compared to some others I looked at. Can't recommend highly enough. I just wish they cam in more colours as we go into spring.

Great value and comfort.
Iv had my last pair 18 month and so comfortable. Re ordering my 3 rd pair as others totally worn out. I wear them every day for work and often on days off.I get planter fasciitis and my podiatrist recommended me these. I order 1 size bigger so I can put my raised arch insoles in.
