I have plantar fasciitis and feet that swell a great deal for what seems like very little reason once I start walking. I have been buying Skechers for years now because the fabric is generally very flexible, and the inserts have memory foam that is usually pretty comfy over my insoles. I deeply miss the memory GEL sneakers because they helped prevent some of the nerve pain in the ball of my foot caused by arch supports, but these do the trick for a shorter amount of time with the memory foam and breath well without making my feet feel like they are trapped in a vice after a couple of hours.
