A godsend for aching feet. I am currently recovering from the slow healing process of plantar fasciitis, tendinitis and a bruised heel. Walking was uncomfortable for several months, and when the plantar fasciitis finally healed, the healing bruise began to appear and hurt with any walk exceeding half a mile, even with supportive running shoes with some cushioning. These shoes (and flip flops from the same company) allowed me to walk comfortably and finally healed my sore feet. I don't have to freeze them at the end of the day or wince when I go barefoot to the bathroom at night. They are expensive but if you are in severe pain and nothing has worked I highly recommend them. .
