Someone recommended the FitFlop brand because it had a "calming" effect on their PF, And I was impressed by the rave reviews on Amazon.

My PF is presently severe, so I didn't enjoy the "calming" effect I had hoped for. However, with the open flip flop style, I was able to use&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Heel-Seat-Wrap-by-EasyComforts/dp/B007ZYPCFM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Heel Seat Wrap by EasyComforts</a>&nbsp;along with the Hooper Fitflop to allow me the most pain-free days since developing PF.

Obviously, not an attractive combination but with slacks the wrap hardly shows. Beside, limping through the day is neither attractive nor makes for a happy teacher.

I had been wearing a combination of&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Orthaheel-Arcadia-New-Style-Casual-Mary-Jane-with-Orthotics/dp/B005C23YL8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Orthaheel Arcadia - New Style - Casual Mary Jane with Orthotics</a>&nbsp;and a variety of brands of heel cups, but the Fitflop Hooper Sandals along with the the wrap is cooler and is far more effective in controlling my PF pain.

I was concerned about Fitflop high strap not working with my high in-step, so I am glad I chose the Hooper with the adjustable strap--I did extend it as far as it allowed and it accommodates my in-step comfortably.

Plus, I think the Hooper is attractive--a dressier option to the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Orthaheel-Men-Women-Tide-Slide-In-Orthopedic-Sandals/dp/B001HEN9JM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Orthaheel Men/Women Tide Slide In Orthopedic Sandals</a>&nbsp;I have worn the past.

UPDATE--After wearing for several weeks, I realize the fit flop sole is not for my  high arches--I find myself "scrunching" my foot to compensate for lack of arch support.

Naot and Orthoheel brand have the arch support I need. I have ordered a closed Naot style with a removable insole, so I can start trying various orthotics for my PF. Expensive but are made in Israel; therefore, they don't have the sizing and quality issues of the brands made in China.

The search continues for a comfortable shoe for PF....
