I have plantar fasciitis since last summer. I tried cheaper sandals but they always caused me pain. I finally gave into buying these and I am so glad I did. I have no foot pain with these sandals at all which is amazing! I got the silver (which looks like  a light gold) so it will match everything. This is the second pair of TAOS shoes...I am believer. Won't buy any other brand going forward. Well worth the money...even if I only have one pair of sandals for the whole summer
