I have wide flat feet AND plantar fasciitis. I am taking my daughter to Disneyland soon and I needed comfortable shoes for a full day at the park. These shoes are comfortable as soon as I put them on. I got them about a month early so I can wear them and they are just right for Disney. It wasn't even necessary to put them on. I've only had these shoes for a few days but as long as they last I'll be a big Saucony fan for a long time to come.
