I ordered these for daily wear and walking a little over a year ago. They’re okay, but not great. My biggest complaint is that the heel counter gets very uncomfortable over time. There’s no pull tab on the heel, so it initially just hurt my fingers from trying to pull the backs over my heel. Over time, struggling to get my heels in also made the top of the heel counter squish down. After a couple of months, I started getting blisters from the bunched up heel counter digging into the back of my heels. Now it bugs me even if I’m just sitting. I don’t reach for these as often anymore because of the heel counter issue, which is a shame because these are otherwise pretty comfy. I’m usually a size 8 and have a wider foot, but the standard size 8 fit me just fine. I also tend to have issues with Nike shoes being too tight on the top of my foot, but these are great in that regard. I don’t think these are ideal if you need something with more stability - I’ve rolled an ankle more than a few times wearing these, so I prefer to opt for my pair of InfinitiyRN’s instead for longer or more intense walking/running. That said, I’d still consider trying the Motiva again if they improved the heel counter so it isn’t as prone to scrunching down into the shoe and digging into the backs of the heels.
