I'm on my feet, 12 hours a day at work.  I was having extreme pain due to Plantar Fasciitis and was receiving cortisone shots every 3 months.  If you have never known pain, try that huge needle in your heel. I have been wearing Skechers for several years and decided to try a pair of the Vigor 2.0.  My problems are: 1. they have to be a triple E width and 2. they have to be approved for my uniform. These fit both criteria!

Fast forward 6 months, the Plantar Fasciitis is gone, and my feet feel comfortable all day!!

I first bought Reef Fanning sandals for myself about 3  or 4 yrs ago when I developed plantar faciitis and the heel pain that goes with it. By using the fanning sandals with extra heel cushion and doing calf & Achilles stretches,  using fanning sandals and better running shoes no MORE PLANTAR FACIITIS!  I won't wear any other sandal if I can avoid it. Have also got my husband 2 pair and he said these sandals/flip flops have worked wonders for comfort and feet that become fatigued.  In short... THEY ARE AWESOME!!!

I had plantar fasciitis for many months, which was cramping my lifestyle. As treatment, I had several physical therapy sessions, no real help. My doctor prescribed anti-inflammatories and stretching, didn't help much, either. After a week with these shoe inserts, I noticed definite improvement. It's been a little over three weeks now, and the pain is almost completely gone.

I have been wearing the Dansko XP pros for about a month now.  I have suffered from Plantar Fasciitis for about 3 years.  I have tried everything to relieve the pain from it, from inserts to night splints, etc.  I saw these online recommended by nurses and waitresses and thought why not?  It took a couple weeks to break them in and actually they still need a little more, but I can say that I come home from work and no longer sit and cry over how bad my feet hurt.  I no longer feel like cutting them off!  There is still pain, don't get me wrong, but it now manageable. I only feel a slight pain from my heel spur also, (which is the size of Texas!) I am more confident walking in them on the wet floors that we get so often in the restaurant industry.  The only drawback is that they are a heavy shoe and can weigh you down.  The heel is very thick.  But I am assuming that is the only way to absorb the shock you get when walking on hard floors.  In my case, a concrete floor with marble floor on top of it.  All in all, I would recommend these to anyone suffering from my condition.  I am hoping that within a few more months I will be completely pain free.

I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for over a year.  Ive spent a fortune on various footwear with not a lot of success.  That is, until I tried these.  Finally, relief!!!  They are like walking on clouds - or marshmallows!  Really.  If you have heel issues, I would recommend giving these a try.  I absolutely love mine!!  Oh, I normally wear a 7.5, so I ordered the 8 and they are fine.

I've gradually developed plantar facitis to the point that I'm limping.  When buying a new product I always read the reviews. The reviews I read were encouraging for this sandal so I bought them.  They are wonderful! Since I can't walk barefoot because of the pain in my heel that radiates mid foot and up to my ankle. I slip them on and the pain subsides to almost nonexistent and no limp.  I plan to purchase another pair in a different color. This is the first time I have written a review. I'm a difficult sell and I'm sold on these! I hope this is helpful for anyone looking to get some pain relief from their plantar facitis like I was!

Keeping in mind that everyone's foot is different I have to say that these shoes restored my sanity after a long bout with plantar fasciitis.  Over 12 months in orthotics that not only didn't help my problem but maybe even made it worse, I chucked the orthotics on the advice of a physical therapist.  Hey, they weren't working anyhow so what did I have to lose. He told me to buy a hiking shoe and suggested I look into Keen shoes since arthritis makes a wider toe box preferable for me. I kid you not, in 3 weeks of wearing these shoes with no orthotic inserts my PF was resolved, the lateral foot pain that was caused by my orthotics mostly resolved and I put many, many miles on these shoes in one year hiking, walking Disney World for a full week, etc. Rain, tons of snow (thumb of Michigan resident) and mud would not stop these shoes. I did purchase them a half size larger than my normal shoe size. The support in these shoes is a nice "all over" support, with just the right amount of arch support for my normal arches. They do not tilt my feet outward like most running shoes do and they offer excellent medial and lateral support. I will wear this make and model the rest of my life if it is available that long.

As an oral surgery assistant, I'm on my feet all day. I was having the worst foot pain by lunchtime. I got these shoes after some research and have worn them all week. My feet are still tired at the end of the day, but nothing compared to before. They really do help a lot. They are a little stiff and needed a few days to break in, but otherwise, love them!

Its been a week. Before, my legs hurt: calf to knee, and especially my knee pit, and my feet and heel were constantly in pain and they were never comfortable. I had my massage therapist working on my legs and feet and we were trying to figure out what made my legs hurt so bad. She suggested finding some good shoe insoles that had good support.
First day, they fit right into my shoes and I didn't have to cut it down to make it fit. I started wearing them to work and left thinking I should have brought a spare pair of shoes in case my feet needed a break (the directions suggested only wearing them 3-4 hours to start with), but I only had the shoes on my feet for the day. I made it through the day and my feet actually felt better already!
Fast forward to now a week of wearing them almost everyday. My leg pain is much better. My knee pit where the muscle/tendon felt like it was pulled tight is gone, the heels and feet are much better as well!
If you haven't tried this insole, and you have feet, heel, and/or leg pain, I would suggest these ones!

With a recurring and currently-active case of plantar fasciitis, I was looking for a high-quality pair of walking shoes that would not leave me in pain.  I walk about 45 min to 2 hours a day on a daily walk to control my weight and didn't want to give that up.

These shoes are amazing...I have no pain when I'm done walking and much-lowered pain the next day compared to using a normal pair of walking shoes.  Using a normal pair of walking shoes, I'd be crying on the floor regretting my decision to ever step outside.

Shoes are:
* comfortable (FYI...they are solid/stiff) - but no friction-rubbing or anything
* fit just as expected - I am wide, no cramped toes :) and prefer to wear thick socks that require an extra 1/2 size larger
* very supportive/don't hurt my feet
* not stinky/dry out pretty well - I've even walked in the rain with them

If you are not used to wearing stiff or arch-supporting shoes/orthotics, you may find the shoe feel to be awkward at first.  I got accustomed to it pretty quickly.  I did not need much of a break-in period for these shoes, no discomfort those first few days.

Other reviewers have mentioned they-would-prefer:  breathability/mesh, more padding/cushioning, not so bulky/big/heavy/sloppy in the toe, more arch support, no squeaking (mine don't).  Personally, I didn't notice or wasn't impacted by any of that.  My main concern...can I continue my daily walks in these shoes?  A resounding 'Yes' and I've continued for several months now.

I was VERY hesitant to buy $100+ shoes when I'd never heard of the brand before.  I read/researched the reviews here to ensure they were not scam reviews, and looked into Orthoheel on other websites before I purchased.  Best $100+ purchase I've made this year.  I am even looking for another pair of Orthaheel walking shoes to add in to my walking shoe rotation.

The other product that has helped me greatly with active planter fasciitis is Foot Rubz.

I work in a hospital setting where I am always on my feet 8-12 hours a day with a chance to sit down every now and then.  I have tried a number of shoes/insoles that would relieve my plantar fasciitis but found none.  I used to have this unbearable pain in both of my feet until I found these shoes.  At first, I had my doubts about these shoes but they totally work! My plantar fasciitis is now gone and I can stand for hours on end while doing my job at work comfortably.  Ofcourse, my feet do get tired from standing all day but that is just a given from the nature of my job.

The only thing I don't like about them is they let your feet spread out and you will find that wearing normal shoes might feel weird.  But now I am old and don't really care about fashionable shoes on my feet. All I care about is knowing that I am comfortable.

I bought these shoes about three years ago and they are still in good shape with no rips or tears.  I wipe them down every now and then with water/soap.  I might be able to squeeze out another year by replacing the insoles.  I will buy another pair because my feet love them.

It made a huge difference within a couple of days of wearing it. Great arch support and the pain from plantar fasciitis is completely gone. A little pricey if you think of it as just a flip flop but completely worth it for pain-free walking.

This is my third pair!
As an RN, I am always on my feet.  Over the years I have unfortunatly developed plantar fasciitis.  These are a miracle for me!  I can't wait to get home and put them on!  I highly recommend them even though they are a bit pricey!  They are worth every dime.  I wear them year round.  A pair will generally last me 2 years before they start looking kinda shabby.  ENJOY!

I always have loved vionics.  Its the only shoe that has helped with the healing of my plantar fasciitis.
These sandals took a couple of days to get used to.  They rubbed the top of my foot a little. Made it sore but no blisters. After about two days they stopped  bothering and now I love them!

My husband purchased me these and i recieved them 3 days ago. I was in an accident which has left me in horrible horrible pain, my original doc. laughed at me when i told him what i had done, untill week 16, I was left with an complete and total hamstring evulsion at both ends along with tears in my knees, ripped apart pelvis muscle and an broken hip. My injury was to old for surgery and i was left with muscles and tendons rapped around my siatic nerve and severe nerve damage in my lover back. Oh don't forget the vascular damage in lower leg. So i put them on 3 minutes after i got them in my hands and they have helped so much !!!!!  I live with my leg having to above my heart unless im walking. they give me more support than i've felt in years and will be buying more tonight,
