Wore these all through college and then got professional and stylish in high heels and such. After years of battering my feet they got so bad I could hardly stand and just the thought of putting them on the floor in the morning would bring tears. Then I remembered my old favorites- Birkenstock. These shoes have a cork bed that molds to your foot as you wear them. They come with soft foot bed or regular; narrow, regular and wide widths and high arch for extra support. After just a couple days of wearing these shoes, my foot pain was gone and the leg cramps that plagued me at night have all but disappeared. Plantar faciitis sufferers should give these a try. They are the only shoe in my closet, I even keep a pair by the bed as slippers and a pair to garden in.
