I love how light and comfortable these shoes are. The soles of yoga mats are so cushioning that every step is like stepping on a trampoline. I can wear them for long periods, to events where I run miles, and at the end of the day I'm not in pain. I also have plantar fasciitis, and while it's not as bad as it used to be, it doesn't bring back those bad symptoms where it would hurt so bad I'd have to roll my foot over a message log.
