Since developing plantar faciitis about 7 yrs ago, the only shoes i have been able to wear are dansko professional, and then later when the skecher shape ups came out (have same rocker motion as dansko and stretch your foot with every step) i gave them a try and now own several pair.  they were the only tennis shoe i could wear without repercussions.  With intentions of taking up some lo-key running, i spent hrs trying on different athletic shoes without paying attention to cost, and found the skecher liv fearless shoe to be quite AmAZiNg. they have great arch support and stability.  i bought my first pair at kohls and have worn them 2 days straight with no ill effects from P.F.  they are very light weight and "cute".  While i haven't started running yet....LOL....i wear the shoes alot and have since purchased 2 more pair on amazon....i luv, luv, luv this shoe.  i work 12,5 hr shifts on hard flooring and will be trying these out there.  i do not anticipate any problems.////////////pam of ohio
