This is an excellent, supportive shoe that helps make walking and prolonged standing much easier for people who suffer from heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. After wearing this shoe exclusively for several months my heel pain has greatly improved. My podiatrist told me that this brand of shoe is the best for arch support and heel problems and I have to agree, nothing compares. I highly recommend this shoe for anyone who has to be on their feet all day or has heel pain.
