My physical therapist suggested I try the Skechers "tone-up" and "shape-up" shoes to relieve plantar fasciitis pain. I've done everything else (night splints, stretching, Advil, etc) without much success but within two days of wearing these around the house and my shape-up sneakers for exercise/life outside, I'm finally waking up without foot pain. These boots keep my feet warm and provide support while being even cuter than actual Uggs. I've worn them on errands, to the movies, on walks, etc. when I've been too lazy to change into the sneakers and they are holding up very well. I tend to wear them without socks, as house slippers, but they are comfortable with socks too. Highly recommended if you want the look of Uggs but with actual arch support and cushion and without slippage.
