I used to love the skechers rocker shoes but then they had that big class action lawsuit and they had to discontinue making them. I have a neuroma on my left foot, and my toes are almost the same length instead of progressing in a curve or slanted. So that's why I need the bigger toe box, plus the metatarsal support for the neuroma to keep my toes from crunching together. Various injuries when I was younger require that I have shoes to support a proper posture when standing - the rockers pretty much forced you to stand erect or you'd tip off balance (that's why people were getting injuries - they weren't listening to their bodies tell them to stand up straight!)

Once those were retired from their line I tried other models but none of them were good with my toe spread. That's why I switched to the New Balance, and then I found the Abeos on clearance and found those to be even better.

Whatever you pick, make sure you get either real leather uppers, or cloth. Do NOT get a fake leather upper or you'll end up with super-stinky feet, or worse - fungal infections.
