My husband has had plantar fasciitis for about 4 years. Since one of our acquaintances recommended these shoes, he only wears shoes from this brand. He wears one or two Vionic shoes all day, every day, because going barefoot can make plantar fasciitis worse. That's why he always has a pair of Vionic shoes on his feet. Laceless Preston moccasins that he uses for work. They are very comfortable and last a long time. We'll be ordering this model as long as they make it, I'm sure.
