I've suffered from Plantar fasciitis for years to the point where simple walking up the hallway was incredibly painful. I came across these sandals and with the support they mention I decided to give them a try. This was at least 7 years ago and I'm now on my 3rd pair! I wear these from the moment I get out of bed until I go to sleep at night. That was they key to dealing with my plantar fasciitis...you need support every moment. At first it felt uncomfortable as I was adjusting to having that stiffer support, but that was only for approximately 2-3 days. I've not had the same issue since purchasing new pairs since. The important factor is getting the right size. Because of how the wave supports your arch if it's hitting the wrong spot it will not work for you. Please don't hesitate to return them. I've done it when I ordered what was mentioned as a unisex size 9, but it was smaller than the pair I normally wear, which I now know is the male size 9/women size 10. In most normal women's shoes I would wear a size 9 or 9 & 1/2, but I need a size 10 in these. I can not emphasize enough how much these have changed my life. I can walk now and though I still have some pain issues, it is nothing compared to what I was dealing with before. I swear by these sandals! I have my mother and sister in law all wearing them too. If it's price holding you back, I gotta say...these last forever. I wore the first pair for about 3 years (mind you this is daily use ALL day long) before the strap broke. The second pair I have are still good, the straps are looser for wearing them all the time and they look more worn, but they are still great. I only got a new pair for back up and for when I want to wear something nicer. I have extremely wide feet and high arch and they still fit perfectly! Even if you don't have foot pain or any other health issues I highly recommend these!
I purchased these o July 20, 2018 from Amazon. Reason being, about week or so earlier I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis, and my walking suffered GREATLY because of it (well, anything 'on my feet'-related, actually.No exaggeration: from the first moment I put these on out of the box ad began walking around, a HUGE relief was felt. I was n medication for pain, but it only helped so much - THESE sandals did the heavy lifting of relief/healing. Within, I'd say, about a month of never going barefoot and wearing these every chance I could, my PF was completely gone/healed. I have worn these around the house, out n about, on vacations, in and out of the country and they are STILL going strong. Coming up on 5 years of owning these and they are still strong, and dependable. If you suffer from PF, or just want a great pair or arch-supporting, STURDY, dependable sandals, BUY THESE.
I’ve been suffering with plantar fasciitis for close to a year now and have done everything short of submitting to going under the knife. The most relief I’ve experienced came from my first cortisone shot but was unfortunately short lived and subsequent shots bit nearly as effective. For me, someone who would prefer to be barefoot 24/7 if possible, the most difficult adjustment has been the constant wearing of tennis shoes (I abhor any kind of closed toe shoe - if foot claustrophobia was a thing I’d definitely be diagnosed as being afflicted with such a malady)... A couple months ago as we were getting ready for our annual family vacation my mom happened to come across an article about Vionic shoes and how they were designed to help people with plantar fasciitis, (among other foot maladies). AND they came in my size... Did I forget to mention that I am currently wearing a women’s size 12, (my mom was right when she told me my feet would ‘grow’ half a size for each baby I had- fair warning Paris Hilton), with a wide width due to almost consistent edema problems in my lower legs from a heart issue)... Needless to say it’s been difficult finding tennis shoes that meet all these requirements let alone anything else.So, we ordered these flip flops just to try them out before ordering the dress shoes or any other casual shoes I might need. And, I am ecstatic to say that these are the best fitting, most comfortable shoes I’ve put on my feet since buying my new balance tennis shoes following my plantar fasciitis diagnosis. It’s so unbelievably freeing to finally be able to wear open toed shoes once again - without having to worry about how much pain I’ll be in at the end of the day because they fit correctly and completely support my arch alleviating my plantar fasciitis issues. I will definitely be ordering more. They may be a little on the expensive side but worth more than every penny given how much the health of my feet effect every part of me & my life.
