I received these yesterday...  I teach school and have plantar fascitis... They are comfortable to the point where I forgot to take them off last night.  The leaf pattern is unique and I got lots of compliments.  The heel base is a little wide (maybe to accomodate orthotics?) and they run a little large.  I would wear a 9.25 (half way between 9/ 9.5 ) and they fit well with the 9, along with regular socks (not trouser socks).  I am looking for more colors now!
