I had severe plantar fasciitis and metatarsalalgia. Meaning I was nearly in tears by the 8th hour of my 12 hour shift. Nurses stand on concrete way too much for the human body. I got my first pair in a store. My husband saw my face and said he didn't care what they cost, get two! I ordered my second pair here. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you these saved me. Now many nurses, who saw my pain, are wearing the same shoes at my workplace!
