My husband found this shoe on a review blog about shoes for people with plantar fasciitis who do a lot of walking. They work even better than those purchased specifically for treating plantar fasciitis. He works in both retail and renovation, which suits his job level very well. This is the second pair we have bought and considering the first pair lasted about 6 months it was a no brainer. Other brands average about 4 months for him. Definitely worth a try if you need arch support, walk a lot and wear out your shoes quickly.
