I have severe Plantar Faciitus and cant really wear flats anymore. Most of my shoes are slip ons or open toe, open back slides in which inserts won't stay in place (except for my boots and gym shoes). Ive never been able to really get used to or wear heels. Wedges are a challenge depending on the shoe. THIS shoe really made a difference! My foot pain vanishes when I wear these and while Im still adjusting to the back of the space between the heel and ankle that compresses when you wear any wedge due to the angle, the shoe is very comfortable and I can walk and stand for a long time in them with no problems. My Dr likes these shoes for me and encourages more wedges but these are the best ones I have. Who knew UGG made them! I have 2 pair in both colors.
