DF Cloudea™ 2.0 – Xmas Box

OK here's the thing. I'm 57. I've had foot problems since my 30s. Bunions. Heel spurs. Neuropathy from diabetes. I've spent more money on shoes than I want to admit - we're talking Hokas, Brooks, Vionics, those ugly Dansko clogs, custom orthotics that cost me $400. NOTHING worked for more than a month. My feet just hurt. That was my life.

My daughter kept sending me ads for these and I kept ignoring her because I was DONE. Done hoping. Done spending money. She bought them for my birthday anyway because she's stubborn like me lol.

First day I wore them to work I kept waiting for the pain to start. It didn't. Second day, same thing. It's been 6 weeks now. I did Black Friday on my feet for 11 hours and came home without crying for the first time in I don't know how long.

I own 3 pairs now. I threw away my Hokas. I'm not being dramatic when I say these gave me my life back. I tell everyone. My coworkers are sick of hearing about them probably 😂

Let me start by saying I NEVER write reviews. Never. But I need people to know.

I'm a labor & delivery nurse. I do 12-14 hour shifts running around on hard floors. My feet, my knees, my lower back - everything hurt. I thought that was just part of the job. You deal with it.

A nurse on night shift had these on and I asked about them bc they looked expensive and I'm nosy lol. She said DeFlorance and I'd never heard of it. Went home and ordered that night.

It's been almost 2 months. The back pain is basically gone. My feet don't throb when I get home. I feel stupid saying a shoe did this but I don't know what else changed. I bought backups because if they ever stop making these I will lose my mind.

ER nurse here. 12 hour shifts on concrete. I've tried everything and I mean EVERYTHING. Hokas were my go-to for years but they wear out so fast and cost $180 every time. These are half the price and honestly better?? The arch support is different - more natural feeling. I'm on my third week wearing them exclusively and my plantar fasciitis is actually improving. Bought a backup pair because I'm scared they'll discontinue them lol

So I returned my Cloudeas last year. The sizing was weird and after a few hours my arches hurt. Threw them in my closet and forgot about them. Then I got an email asking if I'd try "the new version" and I almost deleted it but whatever, I gave them a chance.

I don't know what they changed but it's not even the same shoe. I wore them for a full shift yesterday (I'm a teacher, lots of standing) and nothing. No pain, literally nothing.

I was ready to trash this company and now I'm writing a 5 star review. They actually fixed it. I'm impressed

THESE SHOES. Let me tell you about these shoes. I've had plantar fasciitis for going on 4 years now. Four years of pain every morning. Four years of trying everything. My podiatrist had me in custom orthotics, special stretches, night splints, the whole thing.

These shoes did more in 3 weeks than all of that.

I'm not saying they cured me. I still have PF. But the daily pain is so much less. I can actually walk my dog again without dreading it. That's huge for me.
