I am a nurse who walks on hospital floors for 12 hour shifts with no break (like most nurses). I've tried all kinds of shoes and I have had plantar fascitis diagnosed by my doctor for 7 years. I cant beleive how much this shoe releives the pain. the pain releif is immediate. additionally it releives the pain on the balls of my feet and toes from arthritis since I am not weight bearing so much on the toes. I end up taking less pain medicine because of this shoe.
I can tolerate almost a day of work in these shoes before the pain returns. They are amazing. I picked them up by chance in a discount store and liked them so much I ordered more on amazon for when they wear out. My shoes usually have to be replaced after 3 months of use, no matter which brand I purchase. These last as well as any brand. The uppers look as good as new after 3 months. The lowers still look fine, but any nurse knows new shoes are better for our joints, so we replace them after all those miles we put on them. I have very wide feet and found they fit nicely even though I didn't order a wide. I usually wear a 9EE, but needed to order a 10 in this shoe in order to get the right fit.
I had no trouble adapting to the shoe. I wore it right away for whole sifts. I couldn't be happier.
