I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for over a year.  Ive spent a fortune on various footwear with not a lot of success.  That is, until I tried these.  Finally, relief!!!  They are like walking on clouds - or marshmallows!  Really.  If you have heel issues, I would recommend giving these a try.  I absolutely love mine!!  Oh, I normally wear a 7.5, so I ordered the 8 and they are fine.
