4 months of achilles tendonitis in both feet, which was painful and swollen. I had heels elevated by a podiatrist and physical
therapy for months, a boot used, my physical therapist told me of her other patients who used "fit-flops". I ordered the Women's Sling Sandal. I could walk without pain, my foot would roll when walking like it's supposed to do, I even wear them around the house on my tile floors. No aching legs or painful heels. I love this shoe. I read all the reviews before I selected this shoe. My foot just cradled nicely in the shoe bed, the size was right on and they look good on your foot and you can go anywhere with these shoes. All I can say is thank you so much.
