1. Relief you feel in the first hours — not weeks later
Your heel is never stabilized and your arch collapses inward with every step. Alice holds both in place from heel strike to toe-off, so the end-of-shift burning simply doesn't arrive.
"I'm a nurse, on my feet 8 hours a day on hard floors. The first morning in Alice, the usual burning in my heels at lunchtime just… didn't show up. I thought it was a fluke. Three weeks later, I can walk to the bus after my shift without limping." — SARAH B., LYON
