I have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur in my heel. When I get home from work or a long day out, I reach for these right away and walk around the house on our hardwood floors in these. I just ordered another pair of Vionic shoes because I love these so much. I bought them to wear as a slipper around the house, but wear them out shopping or for a quick walk with the dogs too because they are so comfortable. I will be looking for more styles by this brand to buy.
