I have been suffering from plantar fascitis for a few mths now. I forced myself to buy these shoes as a last option. I have had these shoes for almost 2 weeks and my feet are starting to feel so much better. I am also using a night splint at bedtime,but i have been able to walk around much better at work. I am on my feet quite a bit, so i would recommend these to anyone...not too happy about the price on these but i guess it saves from a doctor visit.
