I was looking for some nice black shoes to wear to the office while healing from a bout of plantar fasciitis.  I had the OrthaHeel Tide flip flops for around the house, and since I LOOOVE them and their wonderful arch support, I figured I would give these OrthaHeels a try.  The style isn't bad, and in general they are very comfortable.  They have a nice, wide toe box, and the edges don't rub against my heels like many shoes do.  The only reason I'm docking a star is that the arch support could be better.  However, there's plenty of room in the shoe to add an insole, so I bought a Dr. Scholl's arch support/heel cup from the drugstore and stuck them in there, which made them VERY comfortable.  So I would recommend doing that.  I wear these several times a week, and they feel great.  They aren't SUPER stylish, but one of the cooler looking closed-toe orthopedics, so I don't feel like a total dork with them on.  :)  They're a good choice for the office, and I like that I can just slip them on and off (the buckle strap is made of the same pliable leather as the rest of the shoe). The sole is grippy and good for those slick parking lots on rainy days.  I would recommend these to anyone suffering from PF or aches from high arches, with the caveat that you'll probably need to add additional arch support.  I think it's worth the extra $10 at the drugstore, because the rest of the shoe is a fantastic design.  Do your feet a favor and spend the extra money on OrthaHeel shoes in general -- they have greatly improved my PF.
