I have plantar faschiatis and have suffered with heel pain for a few years until a fedex delivery driver and a friend at work recommended ASICS. At first I thought, what an ugly shoe but now that I own 3 pr I don't care what they look like (although I do think they're cute shoes now)I work on my feet all day and have to have a very comfortable and supportive shoe. If you have problem feet or just looking for comfort then ASICS are it.
