My daughter, who loves Chaco's, suggested that I try these for my extremely flat feet. This was a very good idea on her part and I was smart to try them. I have plantar fasciitis and cannot wear most sandals more than 2 days a week without developing a great deal of pain in my feet and my lower back, these however have created an exception. I learned that these are hiking sandals, which is an oxymoron to me as I would never hike in sandals, but these are wonderful for everyday wear for around town and running errands, I think I could even wear these for an extended period of time on a vacation instead of having to switch and wear my tennis shoes with the inserts. I would definitely recommend these for people who have foot conditions such as I do as I do not believe you would be disappointed in the wear-ability and comfort. In fact I liked them so well I bought a second pair in black.
