I have heal pain, and am stringent about wearing good/supportive shoes, as to not irritate it (plantar).  These shoes are OK.  Felt fine... a bit snug in the toebox, but over the day, my heal pain started... and the next day its still sore.  So I owould wear these for a short limited time... but not something I could wear for long periods of time.  For the price, I am not overly impressed.
