I have had plantar fasciitis and have had trouble finding comfortable supportive casual shoes.  These are perfect.  I wear a medium width (B) shoe and these have an ample toe box with good arch support.  The sole is non-slip and the lace-up front keeps the shoe stable.  I can walk comfortably without orthotics and the shoes look good with jeans and casual/everyday slacks.  I would buy these again!  Merrell shoes are really well-made.  I own other styles as well.
