My wife has had back problems for years and also suffers from plantar fasciitis, the only shoes she wears are the MBTs.  She has a few pairs from tennis shoes to walkers, this year she was wanting something dressy to wear out and since I've bought every pair for her, I went to work.  Knowing she loves the look of boots I started my search there and found that MBT actually made boots too, so that was a score.  She opened the box and lost it, she absolutely loves these boots, they ran true to size and she is just so happy that I found them.  She's worn them several times in the past week, I think she actully tries to find excuses to dress up now, just so she can show them off, lol.
