This is my third pair of Aetrex shoes.  Overall they are very good shoes, I will say that the cushoning in this pair isn't quite as good as the others I have.  I have to almost always add extra arch and metatarsal arch support , I have exrtemely high arches, so anyway no big deal.  I stand eight hours a day with no discomfort. It would be nice if they had two velcro straps, I have a narrow ankle, Its hard to tighten enough to stop the heel from slipping up and down.  I have had plantar fascitis that is all but gone now believe me when I say a good supportive pair of shoes make all the difference in the world.
