I bought these shoes as I have been suffering from Plantar Fasciitis and I am an over pronator in need of stability control. Compared to my New Balance stability control, those have more support with a lock in heel, while these Saucony have slightly less control, but a lot more cushion.

My best days dealing with plantar fasciitis are the ones after I wore these sneakers the previous day. They help tremendously. Unfortunately, I have a job where sneakers are not okay and I have to wear dress shoes. I can sometimes get away with these on a Friday, otherwise these are my weekend shoes. If I could wear these everyday, I bet my plantar fasciitis would significantly better, maybe even gone.
