Mine don't look like that. They look like Doc Martins or tactical boots, except of course, they have a drop heel and are barefoot style, so the whole toebox is very wide.
Especially after wearing women's regular boots for so long where styles tend to be focused on a tapered toe for fashion, these are incredible! They also allow your Achilles tendon to stretch out and relax. Being very lightweight as well, these things are just so much more comfortable than I ever expected!

There is no arch support. What's really weird is that I've always used orthotics and arch supports in my shoes, especially my sneakers. I still wear them in my sneakers. However, something about the zero drop seems to feel really good. I'll have to see how it goes the more I wear them.

You could probably put arch supports in the boots/shoes. The thing about these boots is that they are so roomy, I'd imagine you could fit supports in without tightening the shoe.
I used to have to wear a heeled shoe for my back as well, which is why I'm so baffled at how and why these seem to be so comfortable. I wasn't expecting this. I could never wear Vans or other flat, low-profile shoes or sneakers without a lot of pain.
