I have plantar fasciitis, and I was really excited to find sandals that I could wear while my foot is healing. Overall, they do help relieve the pain. My complaint is that the straps are very tight. I've never had this problem with sandals or shoes before.  I am still able to wear them, but the tightness of the straps makes them uncomfortable, especially if I am doing a lot of walking while wearing them. Also, some of the faux jewels are getting kind of loose and look like they may fall off soon. I've had the shoes for about 2 months.
