20 Best Footwear For Plantar Fasciitis (2023 Updated)

IšverstiShow in original language👟 FITVILLE WALKING SHOES REVIEW 👟 I was asked to give an honest review by Fitville (an international company using cutting edge science to create their shoes). I am not in the business of giving a good review in exchange for free gifts-so this is a honest as it gets! 👟 As I had not heard of Fitville I was slightly sceptical (were they connected to Farmville?😅) but my scepticism was proven to be unfounded! 👟 I have suffered some foot issues over the years – a bunion removal operation, plantar fasciitis and achilles tendon issues.

👟 Although I have a fairly small bone frame my feet however are quite wide. I’ve often had to go to the men’s section to find trainers as women’s sizing can be too narrow in the toe area for me. In other words these shoes are designed with the wider foot in mind wide2E/ extra wide4E.

👟 So when Fitville asked me if I was interested in trying their shoes I seized the offer with two feet😁and can I say I have not been disappointed! 👟 When I put on these Rebound Core (woman’s) in sandy grey – (they do a Gent’s range also) I actually did not take them off for the entire day! It was as if I had worn them for months! There was no breaking in period at all.

I also loved the rubberised non slip soles especially when walking out in the Scottish rain. 👟 These shoes are equipped with wide toe boxes, patented PropelCoreTM EVA soles, and shock-absorbing pads, I literally felt I was walking on air with the cushioned inserts provided.

They also felt very light to wear. 👟 Most of all I love how stylish they are! I wondered would they have the look of shoes designed for the ermm. elderly. but not at all! In fact I had to prevent my daughter (24 yrs) @lookswithlaura from acquiring them for herself! 😂 👟 Can’t wait for summer walks here in the Highlands of Scotland with these stylish and comfortable shoes.

Thank you so much @thefitville.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have Multiple Sclerosis which means I have very strange feet that I can not wear most shoes. I can no longer walk on sandy beaches as too painful and my balance is not good either so a supportive shoe is vital.

3 years ago I broke my leg then Covid so my movement was greatly inhibited. I have only found one brand of trainers I can wear and have lived in them for over a year now. I had looked at Fitville and thought it might be worth a try and finally I have.

I bought them about a month ago and have slowly started using them, day at a time for a few hours to get my over sensitive feet used to them. I wore them for a couple of days at a time a few times and now for the last 3 days continuously! I walked over a patch of land, grassed but uneven today that I haven’t done for 3 years with our dog.

A bouncy Labrador pointer rescue. I find I can drive much better in them and can feel the soles of my feet too and wiggle and move my feet/toes. I actually forgot to take my cane and only realised when I thought something is missing! I went without it even when I realised.

Not for too long but trainers have a wide supportive sole which I realised are easier to stand with that extra support. So if this is how a person with a real physical challenge can be made to feel, just try them.

I am now going to try the trainers you don’t have to bend to do up laces and are quite cute too. Nice colours. and use them as supportive slippers. I am so glad I took the plunge and bought them. Dark blue rebound core ladies.

I bought ladies 6 and they are true to size. Don’t be tempted to size down because wider. I have been 6 all my life, 39 European. And the extra width gives more movement to my feet. I have a smaller foot by half a size but bought to fit the larger foot.

I hope this review may help others with weird feet, neuropathy etc. Those with fabulous normal feet, these will be just amazing! Thank you for reading, i hope this helps. To be able to walk again on land I have not been able to for 3 years gives such hope and pleasure.

IšverstiShow in original languageI was dubious about even receiving my order from this company as after i had placed it, i read lots of negative reviews. They did take a little longer than i expected to arrive, but i am finding them comfortable.

I have a couple of issues that need particular footwear. I’ve been wearing altra shoes for some time as they have wide toe box but i felt that the zero drop feature has exacerbated and possibly even created plantar fasciitis.

I haven’t been for a long long walk yet in the fitville shoes, as i’m trying them out about town, and short distances. So far so good. For the first time in definately a few years i am relatively pain free.

The shoes seem to be well constructed, supportive through the heel. They are however a little too wide for my narrow foot. The reason i look for a wide toe box is i have a morton’s neuroma that needs space to feel comfortable in the toe area, and these are just a little wide for the mid foot region.

I usually take a 6, and i ordered the 5. 5 which have plenty of room.

These looked to be everything they were talked up to be until they arrived. Could hardly get my foot in and I don’t have a wide foot. They were so uncomfortable like walking on wood. The insole doesn’t appear to have any padding whatsoever other than the arch support.

The tongue of the trainer on the underside is badly finished off and rubbed on the top of my foot. So would have been forced to wear socks to make them in any way comfortable, then that would have meant getting a bigger size as they are so neat.

I have at least 6 other pairs of Vionic’s, sandals, slippers and trainers and they are all fantastic. Don’t know what’s gone wrong here but it’s enough to put me off the brand, particularly at this price – they are way off the mark.

There are only 2 brands of footwear I can cope with these days having plantar fasciitis on one foot, they are Vionic and Skechers. The way these have been made is enough to make me walk straight to Skechers from now on.

Really disappointed. Being returned.

I always wear a size 10. So I ordered a size 10. When it arrived I had to recheck label several times because the toe box was so short it was bumping my big tow. I almost thought that someone put a 9-1/2 into a 10 box.

But the label said 10. Quality of shoe was good, but someone didn’t check the laces. The tip was missing and the lace could slip out of hole too easy. I would be uneasy recommending it because someone might be expecting a normal length and it may be too short for them also.

The width was medium as posted and I purchased a medium. I would really like Vionic and others to make Narrow widths, but I don’t see any. Anyway the width size isn’t going to correct the depth of the toe box.

Not often do I write one of these but I have to say that in all my 74 yrs have I ever had a pair shoes that I could actually wear all day. My body wants to sway because of my problems. With these shoes they keep me straight on.

I am so in love with these that I am thinking about another pair in another color, if they are available. Mine are the awesome pink looking ones that matched a lot of my tops. I love love love them. I also really love my other Vionics a lot.

OH! I bought these a nine because I wear thin socks or footies with them.

I purchased these in my “regular” size – 10W. Am very thankful QVC seems to have great shoes in sizes for people with larger and wider feet. I tried this shoe because I have metatarsus adductus – c-curved feet.

It was never corrected when I was a child and I only discovered the issue after I went to a podiatrist. Typically finding supportive, fashionable shoes is a royal annoyance. I have to wear custom orthotics.

Saw these and thought I would give them a try. As I was working out in them the big toe on my left foot kept bumping into the front of the shoe–hmmm. too small. But I liked all the other aspects of fit and comfort.

Sooooooooo I decided to try another pair in a 1/2 size larger. PERFECT workout shoe! I’m keeping both pairs. So if you are like me consider sizing up a 1/2 size in these. Other than that I have never had such a comfortable supportive shoe that fits my custom orthotics beautifully! Thank you, GDEFY!!! Now if you only made shoes other than athletic ones with the same support comfort.

PLEASE?????.

I rarely write reviews but use them myself extensively, so I really have to submit one about these shoes. I have high arches and always get arch pain and other foot problems when walking. Not with these.

These are by far the most supportive and comfortable walking shoes (including sneakers and hiking boots!) I have ever worn. They provide several different orthotic inserts that you can try separately or put them all together, and this is the key.

You must try the different variations to get just the right fit and level of support you are looking for (read the instructions!). I ended up using all of the orthotics together and do not get the heal pain from walking that I would always get from other shoes (even Keen hiking boots, which I love, and Skechers Archfits, which I also love).

Just try them!.

I am pleased with these Mighty Walk shoes in most respects. I love the interchangeable insoles and quickly went for the “Corrective” one with arch support. They have a substantial sole, good for walking on cobblestones and not feeling every little pebble as in typical athletic shoes.

They have a very roomy toe box, which is terrific. I find them a wee bit short, and I had to go up not one but two sizes from my normal to not feel my toes touching the front inside. They are advertised as having a slight rocker bottom, but I dispute that (having worn MBTs for years).

There is a separate layer of heel material set in from the outer edge of the sole, rather than a smooth sole from heel to toe, making an odd roll-through. The light blue/grey color is reasonably neutral.

Unfortunately, this shoe was not a comfortable as I’d hoped. It was lighweight but the comfort was just not there for me. I have other styles of Therafit shoes and love them. This style just was not for me.

Sorry Therafit!.

I think I’ll need to return the shoes. They are too wide and don’t fit my foot. I contacted customer service last week in regard to removing the bar inserts and she said it would make the heel more comfortable but it didn’t.

Can you let me know how I can return the shoes? Thank you.

I tried on the right shoe and it was fantastic, put the other one on and not good. The shoe felt uncomfortable. The 3 rods that go through the heel of the sole were lose and the actual sole was put together unevenly, and the arch support hit further back than the other shoe.

Then they have nerve to charge 6 dollars to return them.

These were my second pair of fit I’ll shoes, first of this model. These are very comfortable and I have no complaints about these shoes as far as the model. I think the rebound cores are a little better feeling than the stride cores.

But, these aren’t bad. Overall, fit villa has fixed my foot pain from a bunion from too many years in narrow heels. My feet aren’t hurting at night anymore and I have noticed my arch is coming back. My only “concern” with this brand of shoes is the sizing is unreliable.

My stride cores are so big my feet slide. My rebound cores fit perfect. The cloud weaves are tight. I advise trying them on and exchanging them till they fit you right.

I loved these shoes from the moment I put them on. No breaking in period required. I have 2 pairs of strides. A black and a blue. The blue is bright and, in my opinion prettier than the black. I used to have narrow feet ( I suppose my heel is still narrow, but the development of large and painful bunions and a hammer toe now means I need wide shoes.

I chose the 4xwide. My first pair were a size 6 in order to leave space for my prescription orthotics and I was very pleased with them. Especially once I put the Fitville inner foot bed on top of the orthotic as it held my heel and stopped any slipping inside the shoe.

But I could see my toe didn’t reach the end by a little way. So I tried a 51/2for my second pair and they are even better. I have also bought a size 6 rebound shoe. I noticed that the 51/2 stride was just a tiny bit longer than my size 6 rebound.

So the rebound is a little shorter than the stride. If it helps, my foot length is 25cm.

pros: the trainers are very comfortable and after wearing them for quite some time I quickly realized I have no foot pain which I usually have with my narrow trainers; I’ve followed the advice from the website and bought half-size smaller than usual and they are a good fit; my foot does fit more stable cons: the trainers are quite heavy, much heavier than my usual sneakers which doesn’t make them ideal for some types of training like for cardio exercises; major con is that they don’t have that extra hole to do a heel-lock type of lacing and by being heavier than usual the heel doesn’t feel really locked and moves around a bit while walking all in all I am satisfied, the major reason I got them to feel more comfortable around the toes and they do; if the holes were added on top to provide the heel lock, that would be amazing.

After I purchased these court shoes I waited a while for delivery and then sent a message to ask when I could expect to receive them. It was at that point I realised they were not coming from the UK, as the website seemed to suggest.

I did more research and I became concerned when I saw lots of negative reviews about orders placed in the UK. There was little I could do other than wait it out. After about three weeks the court shoes arrived and I was fully prepared for disappointment.

I opened the box and stunned by these thoughtfully package shoes that were exactly as they looked on the website and very well made. I have very wide feet and I was absolutely over the moon when I put them on.

They were by far the widest court shoes I’d managed to find and they certainly seemed as though they’d be hard wearing. Five weeks in and at least 30 hours of outdoor tennis later, they look as good as they did the first day and they have been really sturdy and very comfortable.

I am very happy with my purchase and I felt that with so many bad UK reviews that I’d write a truthful review about my experience to give perspective purchasers some balance. I’ve given the shoes 4, not because I wasn’t completely happy with them, purely because the website seemed to suggest the product would come from the UK when it clearly didn’t.

If you need very wide court shoes give them a go and hopefully you’ll be as happy as me!.

Hi, my history is that I was born with slightly deformed feet. All my life I have had to wear a bigger size – I buy a size 7 and a half to 8 to fit my foot which has a size 6 length (UK sizes). These are the first sport shoes in my size (6) ever that I have been able to wear brand new (my mother used to walk mine in for me) and I literally could make them my profile picture, they have brought me so much joy.

The are super comfortable, when I say super. slipper comfortable. I will be buying all my shoes from fitville from now. I am so chuffed. Now no excuse for bad tennis playing.

I have wide feet and small bunions. For years i have worn tennis shoes for badminton and suffered foot/toe pain. I’ve tried orthotics but no relief. The Amadeus tennis shoe is a revelation, comfortable from the word go, I can now play badminton for 2 hrs with not pain.

I can’t recommend these shoes highly enough and customer service was excellent.

These are EXACTLY what I was looking for in a house shoe! Most women’s shoes are too narrow in the toes for me, so I ted looking at men’s house shoes and found these. LOVE them! Very comfortable with or without socks.

Feet don’t get sweaty. They have decent support (I don’t need much. Mostly just want the cushion. ) Great quality, well structured, and stylish. I wear a size 11 in women’s shoes, so I ordered a 9. 5 and they fit great.

(To convert a women’s size to men’s, subtract 1. 5 sizes. ) I didn’t want flimsy house slippers and these are the perfect hybrid of slippers and casual shoes.

For years, I have been wearing an expensive leather “clog” made in Germany. It no longer seems to be available for men in the U. S. so I’ve been forced to look elsewhere. Cloth “scuffs” don’t stay with me (I have a rather wide foot and a high arch) so I thought I’d try a moccasin style.

The ones I tried gave me no support and were, frankly, dangerous to walk with. So I tried these GeckoMan clogs. I wasn’t optimistic, but they did have an arch support. All I can say is: WOW! I’ve found a replacement for my expensive German footwear! Too early to tell how long they’ll last but I can buy at least 3 of these for the price of the German leather!.

I have only had these shoes for about two weeks, but I have worn them every day. I can’t really speak to their durability, though they do seem to be well built. They are incredibly comfortable and offer a great deal of support.

I have been wearing these in the house only, except for a short trip to the local grocery a few days ago. They did great on that trip. They do not seem to be too hot and that was a concern because in any “Lined” type of house slipper my feet get hot and sweat.

Not in these. Good value for the money. I would buy these again.

I learned of OrthoFeet after researching good shoes for people with long toes. Although at only 5’3 I know little of long body parts, I inherited my 6’1 father’s long, luxurious toes — including his Morton’s toe, which leaves an annoying little hole in 80% of my socks — and have spent decades jealous of the tiny jelly beans other women have for toes instead of these sloth-like digits 🙂 The description about length warned that a size up would need to be ordered on this particular style, so while I’m normally a size 6.

5, I ordered them in a 7. The shoes are great, clearly designed and packaged with care, hence the 5 stars. Unfortunately, my feet are on the narrow side, so the medium width of a size 7 just felt too big.

My heel was threatening to slip out with every step, yet the toe box was barely long enough, so going any smaller in size would have compressed my toes into total discomfort. I played around with combinations of the two different spacers and heel support and different sock thicknesses to see what would make the sneaker feel snug enough not to threaten to fall off as I walked.

I finally found what works for me, including using a narrow-footed lacing pattern I found online that looks like a drunk toddler tied my shoes for me. They’re still slightly loose-feeling on the sides and heel, but they finally accommodate my toes, which has been a lifelong challenge, so I decided not to take advantage of OrthoFoot’s generous shipping and return policy.

I’m making the shoes work. But I appeal to OrthoFeet to keep those of us with long toes, but not necessarily large feet, in mind when designing future sneakers. I love the style, but either an extra long toebox or narrow size option would have created the perfect fit I’ve been seeking.

So far, only a brand called NurseMates has been able to make sneakers that fit me perfectly. I hoped OrthoFeet would be a new option. It’s really, really close.

I rarely write reviews but I feel I need to for these shoes. I have severely flat feet. My arches are always swollen and my feet always hurt. I’ve had many different types of expensive prescription orthotics and they never seem to help any more than the store bought ones to be honest.

This shoe is the most comfortable one I’ve had. The pain in the top of my foot is almost gone and the plastic inserts give me just enough support. My arches aren’t aching like they use to. I work at a Y as a wellness coach so I have a closet full of various workout shoes but these are my favorite and the only ones I want to wear anymore.

I bought the black, then the turquoise and will probably be buying the pink. They have truly been a game changer for me! Please continue to make more colors! I am a 9 and usually size up to a 9. 5 for athletic shoes but I probably could have sized up to a 10 and used the inserts they give you.

If you’re in between, I would suggest doing that.

I’m a hot mess. Foot pain, pronation, back pain, scoliosis, hip pain, and of course rotten, old arthritic knees (guess mama was right – I spent way too much time on them in my youth). Pardon me dirty man – I’m talking about 42 years of skating, hockey, cheerleading, paintball, basketball, volleyball, jumping off roofs – don’t ask why.

it takes it’s toll. Anyway – 50’s creep up and it got to where I couldn’t take my poor puppy around the block for a walk without feeling excruciating pain somewhere, everywhere. He was not a happy puppy.

I hit rock bottom on the activity scale – so I bought a pair of Verve’s – and “oh boy” that hit the spot! Within a few weeks, I was wearing out my Great Dane – going for miles and running him crazy around the dog park – sometimes twice a day.

Now, my Dane’s worn out, and I can’t get enough. No sir – you dirty, dirty man – from exercising. (ick). I’ve since bought Tahoe, Coral and Naples. And they’re all great. So much better than the “bums” I used to get.

But Verve. my my my. will always hold a very, very special place in my heart. I’ll definitely being hitting up Verve again.

I was skeptical of ordering these shoes at first because I do have continual back pain, but not foot pain and I also have a narrow foot not wide. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the size medium shoes fit me.

For the first week I walked around my house with them on to give myself time to get use to them in the comfort of my home. They do elevate my arch more than I am use to, but I believe this to be a good thing! I live in flip flops so my feet are constantly flat and causing me severe back pain.

Once I started wearing these shoes out I was hooked! When I went back to my flip flops I instantly had back pain again. I absolutely am sold on this company! I love the fact that they are made here in America as I believe it’s so important to support our local economy.

I was drawn to the fact that the shoes are very stylish since I am 42 years young and desire a functional esthetically pleasing shoe. i am looking forward to purchasing my next shoe with Kuru and it will definitely be a flip flop!.

I was walking 8km on the daily, plus what I did just around the house. My fire was really painful and limited my walks to barely 0. 5km. With my recent Morton’s Neuroma diagnosis, I knew I needed proper foot wear.

I googled shoes specific for my diagnosis and was brought to the Kuru site. I found a pair I liked but hesitated on the price. My wonderful mom said she’d buy them and so I gladly accepted. To wear them around the house while breaking them in was wonderful! So much so, that I feared wearing them out because then I won’t have indoor shoes! This past weekend I finally wore them to the park with my kids.

They are oh so comfy and stylish. I want/need to get another pair for indoors and for outdoor summer weather. Kuru is great in that they make a variety of styles, one (or two or three) to suit even the pickiest of consumers.

My hesitation on ordering more, like I’ve said before, is the price. If they were more affordable, my rating would be 5 out of 5.

This is my second purchase of Kuru’s Atom style within a month. I had a great toe fusion in my right foot almost a year ago and left foot Achilles tendonitis with calcification at the insertion site and bone spurs.

Walking was extremely painful even with high end athletic shoes, ice, heat, and medication. I stumbled upon the Kuru site; this style has completely changed my life. It offers amazing cushioning, support, holds my heel in place and is high enough in the back to not cause pressure on my tendon; the mesh in front allows for the extra room I need.

In my opinion runs true to size with a wide toe box. I did not need a break in period. As a nurse and gym member, I am now able to participate in activities I enjoy, pain free!.

These shoes solve my problems. I have multiple issues from neuropathy to Parkinson’s to swollen feet… And this pair has become my every day paid. It cannot make my problems go away but it eases them.

Wide toe box eases squeezing and keeping with higher shoe size (not running shoe fit) eases tight fight. Inserts are very comfortable—thick and soft. Since I am no longer running I don’t take them out and don’t put in my orthotics which eases neuropathy pain.

My issues are complex but I know there are old guys like me who are looking for something that will ease their foot pain even a little bit. And these have done that for me.

Extreme comfort and pain relief for my planters heel, back ache’s gone, and it definitely helps correct my posture. WOW…Comes close to my description of them. I have hoka Clifton 6 they are not as cushioned as the archfit 220196.

I’ve sold my wife on them and she’s getting a pair in the woman’s that’s a first in 47yrs that’s happened. They fit true to size and there’s toe room upfront and don’t feel cramped. When walking the heel lands on what feels like air cushions that rebound with response and that launches you onto the supportive mid soles.

This then rolls you onto your toes, the whole stepping motion has a balanced rocking feel to it. I keep them on all day around the house. Hope this helps.

I have been purchasing shoes for my dad for years and I finally got it right, 1st purchase. I had been trying to keep my dad “in style”, purchasing Nike, Adidas, Reebok, but these shoes were the only ones he absolutely loves right out of the box! He love about 300 miles from me so I have things shipped then have to go pick them up or have him to mail them back to me.

He called and said these are the most comfortable shoes ever and I can tell they are better quality than any other. My dad is not the complimentary type so this call was an ego booster for me! Will order in another color now! Daddy’s girl.

Pros: Very, very comfortable shoe out of the box. No breaking in necessary. The fabric upper allows the wearers foot to breathe and flex comfortably. The insole is soft, offers great support and conforms to the bottom of the wearers foot.

The entire foot feels supported and protected without feeling bound inside a casing as a shoe sometimes can. Great “perfect day” shoe. Also great warm weather or moderate temperature weather shoe due to its cloth upper that allows for ventilation.

Easy to keep clean, just rinse them first of heavy soil then throw them in the washer. Cons: Although there is some form or evidence of a tread on the outsole (bottom of the shoe) it is not slip proof or slip resistant.

If the walking surface is slick, smooth or wet (even on a cement pavement) be careful and cautious in your steps. Price is a little steep for what it is; soft cloth upper and a soft foam sole. Not a cold weather shoe.

The cloth upper and breath ability of this shoe will allow the cold to seep in. Not a wet weather shoe, your foot will undoubtedly get wet if not soaked along with the shoe. Takeaways: I would consider buying this shoe again but as comfortable shoe technology develops throughout the industry I would first look at other brands using the same upper but a better, more slip resistant outsole.

I would look for a similar shoe at a better price point.

Though overall I’ve enjoyed this type of shoe I did have a very hard time narrowing down the right size for me. Size 9 was way too small and smashed toes painfully. Size 11 actually didn’t seem a lot different from the size 10s.

Did decide to settle on the size 10, though I felt like a half size smaller would have been best. With the insole they do have a little bit of support and feel quite comfortable for walking around on flat ground.

Did take them on a short hike on an established park trail and ABSOLUTELY CANNOT recommend for anything except the smoothest trails if you are tenderfooted. It was as though I could feel every rock that was any bigger than a marble jabbing up into my foot.

By the time I had finished the two and a half mile hike my feet had that tired and vaguely numb feeling that a good beating creates. My heels also felt a little bruised deep within. This was while using the insole as well as wearing a fairly thick pair of socks, so keep that in mind before you purchase.

Otherwise I haven’t regretted the purchase and I will find uses for them. They are the some of the most comfortable shoes to wear around the house that I’ve ever had and are very easy to slip on and off.

I bought these shoes due to starting a new job that involves an extensive amount of walking. I opened the box and tried them on and found them to be immediately comfortable. Much more comfortable than my $125 running shoes.

Due to some of the reviews, I did some test walking on tile, and linoleum. Apparently numerous people claim to fall in the shoes but I found absolutely no issues with the slippery type surfaces. I then went out and ended up at a store with slippery concrete floors (polished and smooth) and there too, absolutely no issues.

So I have no idea what these people are doing that causes them to fall, but it’s not the shoes. That said, I might need to buy a second pair so I can wear them all day everyday and to the gym as well.

Way more comfortable then my daily shoes. Not to mention the fall complaints, it might be beneficial to have a backup pair in case they pull them from. Which would be nonsense. Although I’ve not put miles on these shoes yet, I feel they should hold up.

They’re meshed so they should do well with the heat this summer. But they also look nice and professional enough to wear at work. I don’t think you can go wrong with these. I will update my review if I run into any problems.

IšverstiShow in original languageThese slippers are so comfortable! This is my first pair of arch support shoes. I never thought I needed shoes to support until my doctor recommend this specific Power Step brand and what a difference.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!.

IšverstiShow in original languageFantastic slippers! Hated wearing shoes in the house every day to help curb pain from Plantar Fasciitis. With these slippers I have support, comfort and keep the outside dirt outside! Major plus, my pain has improved since I started wearing these!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI nought this (cheaper) from HSN but they don’t sell them anymore. Most supportive slippers I have owned. I have some foot issues like morton’s neuromas and these are so comfy.

really help.

Bought these for my son who suffers from plantar fasciitis. They have great support and has helped ease the pain and are comfortable. The only issue is the sizing. He is usually a size 10 but these were too large so a size 9.

5 was recommended. I exchange them for the smaller size and still they were larger than he needed. I would suggest sizing a whole size down when purchasing.

I wear these to work daily. I am walking on a concrete surface and moving the entire time, and am diabetic – so durable, well fitting and comfortable shoes are a must. To my dismay, I found that part of the gray/silver support in my right shoe came apart in pieces inside the shoe.

For the money I invested, I feel the quality is lacking.

They looked good on, but my husband didn’t find them comfortable enough. He typically wears a 12. 5/13, ordered these in a 13, and said they were too tight. 13 is the largest size available so we had to return.

I’ve been battling sever nerve pain for almost a year. It has been crippling at times. I’ve bought my first canes to help assist me to walk so I don’t have to bare weight on my leg, that is how bad the pain has been.

Meds didn’t touch the pain. However, as the intensity of the pain started to go down, I bought a pair of these shoes from this company. If I wear those shoes I don’t have pain. If I’m in my crocs, boots, or barefoot I have pain and I’m couch bound for the rest of the day.

I decided to test fate again and bought the blue closed toe sandals. Once again, as long as I wear them I have minimal uncomfortableness with my nerve pain if not 100% pain free! This and doterra deep product when I’m uncomfortable keep me up and moving and off the couch! They are amazing! You have a customer for life! Thank you for making an amazing product!.

Great shoes. I purchased both the blue and the gray ones. They are both light weight and comfortable. I have a hugh issue with arthritis. My second toe on my right foot overlaps my big toe – usually a fitting problem.

These shoes have the depth to accomodate my toe. (However, if i want to wear them with socks, I need to wear socks of thin material as ones of thicker material made the shoes feel tight. I don’t think you would have my problem if your feet are normal.

) They have great support. Plus they are cool and comfortable. They are designed to prevent plantar fasciitis. I just love these shoes.

Oh, my aching feet! If I had a dollar for every time I’ve said that, I’d be. well you know. I’ve been living with painful neuropathy since 2009 when a disc in my low back ruptured. I already had a bunion on my left foot and the nerve damage made it excruciatingly painful to the touch.

Sheets, shoes, and sometimes even air hurt! These shoes are comforting with a cushion of three layers of insoles and the arch support underneath. It offers the benefits of both sneakers and sandals by providing the support of a sneaker with a cooler summer sandal.

The heal strap is adjustable so both feet are happy.

I have a high instep, high arch, wide foot (D-E), and am in my mid-60s with a history of obesity. I had plantar fasciitis a few years ago, briefly. I moved to zero drop thickly padded shoes back then, which worked.

Then, In winter 2020, my PF reappeared. I was on my feet working overtime a lot, including concrete floors, and by April 2021 I could barely walk. Throbbing heel pain at night kept me awake and agonizing pain first thing in the AM.

My left heel was the worst, as the PF migrated up into my left Achilles. During spring 2021, I tried a lot of brands and pads, alone and in combination. What finally worked was an Orthofeet sneaker PLUS a Dr.

Scholl’s PF insole. I think I needed the extra PF insole because my left heel had been aggravated for a year. (I have also lost 60 lb since spring 2021) With this combination, I have obtained complete relief; no heel/Achilles pain no matter how long the day.

Wearing the Orthofeet sneaker + Dr. Scholl’s PF insole is more comfortable than any other shoe or being barefoot. If I notice heel pain, I put on my Orthofeet sneakers and it immediately goes away. As the weather turned wintry here in the Midwest, I decided to try this Orthofeet boot, first WITHOUT the added Dr.

Scholl’s PF insole, but ended up adding one. I certainly hope this combination of items from two different companies continues to be available, as I have spent HUNDRED$ trying to find what works, and this works.

Got size 2 Xwide and they were perfect. Walked 4 miles in the boots first time on without one issue. I have a bunion and the wide toe box provides for that. We had several inches of snow within a week of getting the boots so they have been exposed to snow/slush/I also like to walk the beach so they have been exposed to both sand and salt water.

My feet have remained totally dry. My hope is that they will continue to perform at the same level for some time. This is the 2nd pair of footwear that I have ordered from Orthofeet, and again, I am very impressed with customer communication from the company in regard to shipping and updates.

I can see this company being my “go to” for footwear in the future. Hopefully, they will maintain their current level of excellence and not “slack off” as so many others have done in the current climate in the U.

This is my 2nd pair of Winter boots from Orthofeet. I bought these because of the waterproof feature. I’ve been wearing Orthofeet shoes for about a year. I have a stand up job and about 3 months after I started I needed shoes for being on my feet all day.

After searching around, Orthofeet was one of many brands that I considered getting but, with Orthofeet things felt different about the shoes before I decided to get my 1st pair. I decided to get them and I’ve been very pleased.

I wear into my shoes fast but, in this case the insoles will wear down faster than the show will, so I’m buying more insoles than shoes. I try to get a new pair of shoes every 6 months. I’ve always preferred comfort to looks.

I have been wearing the vionics Plantar Fasciitis Orthopedic Shoes for approximately 5 years now. I had 4 pairs and just purchased a 5th pair. I wear them essentially every where. Cutting the grass with a power push mower, exercising rowing, biking and walking, for casual wear going to the grocery , on social occasions etc.

I found their support to be superior to any other products. I have all the original shoes but even though I have definitely put many miles on the shoes. The most recent purchase is to soon replace the shoes worn for exercising.

My one critical comment about a very well constructed supportive shoe is the length of the shoe laces. They are too long and represent a tripping threat. That is the reason why I can’t give them a five star rating.

I purchased this shoe in white a few years back for my husband who suffers from flat feet and plantar fasciitis. I ordered a half size up as recommended and the shoes fit perfectly. My husband loved the fit and was able to spend all day on his feet at work without pain or discomfort.

The shoes were starting to show their age from daily wear, so I ordered a new pair, this time in black. Same shoe, same size, different color. The black shoes were so tight my husband couldn’t even get his foot in the shoe.

We returned the black shoes and reordered in white. Same shoe, same size, perfect fit.

My feet will tell you that these are a preeminent offering for wide feet folks. Have tried brands ranging from ‘on sale w/ 10% coupon’ to ‘luxury’ and these are an impressive combination of style and comfort.

My feet made me purchase 3 pairs: 2 Brenston’s & 1 Bramford. • Looks like a ‘proper’ dress shoe that are actually comfortable while walking and standing. • Durable leather construction. • Firm yet softness throughout shoe.

• Provide right amount of traction with light cushioning. • Heel is not stiff- no rubbing nor blistering. • Locked in feel with no break in period.

The shoes are amazing. The best thing you could do is not change anything, and keep to your same quality standards. I began wearing minimalist shoes about six months ago. i didn’t think they were perfect, but preferred them to traditional footwear.

I wanted to find something with the benefits of a minimalist shoe, with just a little more support. Some companies thought that zero drop with a much thicker rubber sole would be the answer. It was not the answer, because those felt squishy and unstable.

I love the look, and feel, of these shoes. Birchbury has the solution. Thank you, so much, for doing it right. The shoes are a pleasure to wear, and very versatile.

I love everything about these shoes except the fact that they fell apart before the six month mark. Granted, I only own one pair of each type of shoe I wear. These were worn about 5 days a week on average.

At first, it was just the stitching which was weak. The leather uppers are great so I considered having the soles restitched to the uppers at a local cobbler. (Yes, there is still one in Santa Fe, NM).

Luckily, before I could waste the money the entire sole shredded. I was hoping to replace Keen in my life because they never last a full year. Birchbury’s six months certainly are the answer. Get them if you want a once-a-week-to-Church shoe.

The customer service at Kuru is very good, so far. They are helpful and willing to listen. As for the shoe, I feel the shoe is decently comfortable. I am not a big fan of the thick cloth material that is under the insole of the shoe.

The thick cloth material always makes it feel as though there is something stuck in the shoe. After a hand full of outings that feeling has mostly gone away. What I can’t get over is the squeaking of both shoes.

The first pair I had squeaked whether I had the insoles in or not. I spoke with customer service, explained the issue and they sent me a new pair right away. Like I said “very good customer service so far.

” I now have my second pair and unfortunately the squeak is back. This time the squeak goes away if I remove the insole. However, as soon as my feet warm up in the shoes they both squeak with every step.

I plan to talk with customer service again on this issue. I will be asking for my money back this time. My guess is that there is a design flaw in the shoe, which is unfortunate because I really liked the design.

I was really into this shoe until both pairs I got squeaked with every step.

I was having arch, heal, leg and hip pain. I’ve been wearing the NB shoe for years. I work on concrete in the factory 8-12 hrs a day and it was pretty hard getting out of the car after the hour drive home.

I had to do something and I decided to try this shoe to see if it would ease my discomfort before spending a fortune at the podiatrist, I am here to tell you I am glad I made this purchase. The shoe is well made, looks good and feels great.

It took about 2 weeks for my pain to be almost completely gone. I can not tell you if my other shoe was sized wrong, not as well made or what, but I can tell you for sure that I am glad I made the purchase.

I wear a 10. 5 US normally. I can tell you that the 10. 5 wide shoe I purchased is a snug fit. You will not be able to add additional supports. I hope this review is helpful in your decision.

After running a marathon last year, I developed pretty bad plantar fasciitis. I had been wearing a pair of old running shoes as my daily shoe, but they were getting worn down and so I started looking for an alternative daily shoe that would hold up to active, outdoor wear and be helpful for my plantar fasciitis pain.

I found Kuru through research, and decided to purchase a pair of the Chicane Mesh Plantar Fasciitis Shoes in Black/Red. I typically do not buy shoes online that I’ve already been wearing or tried on somewhere else, but based on my research and reviews I decided to take the chance, and I’m very glad I did.

I did follow the recommended break-in period by Kuru, wearing them about 3 hours per day for a week or so before wearing them full time. I’ve now been wearing them as my full time daily shoe, and they are very comforting for my plantar fasciitis pain.

They have a great cushion, and good arch support. They soles are heavier than I was used to since I had been wearing running shoes, but I got used to that pretty quickly. The primary drawback is that the heel of the shoe is low and looser than I prefer.

I have to tie them quite tightly for the heel not to slip, which in turn gets uncomfortable on the tops of my feet after wearing them for a while. Otherwise, I feel good about the purchase and would recommend them for someone looking for a solid daily use shoe that helps with plantar fasciitis pain.

I have worn orthotics for approximately 35 years and never experienced the comfort that I have with this pair of shoes and the booster. Once wearing the shoes I thought back to the many pairs of shoes that I have purchased over the years trying to experience comfort.

Even though each time I was fitted it was suggested that I wear a half size smaller than I should have, I was always uncomfortable. I knew from the very beginning of this pair that I would need to dispose of every pair of shoes that I currently have and switch over to OrthoFeet shoes.

Not only do my feet feel better, but my knees low back, and right scapula area show improvement. For years someone else has had to hang my clothes in the closet, because I experienced too much pain in my lower shoulder area.

All of that has disappeared. I have already ordered 2 additional pairs of shoes, and have another ordered and hopefully someone will light a fire under that order for me. Totally believe in this shoe and the shoemaker and have lots of suggestions for potential ways that shoes need to be developed that will help whole generations of people who have problems that are never identified as potential causes of pain.

Thank you for developing this type of shoe.

I already owned the Serene style in black so was very glad to be able to get this in another color. The color is described as ‘tan’ but it’s really a nice medium brown and will be wonderful for upcoming Fall days.

I took the advice of another reviewer and bumped the width up by one AND GOT AN EXCELLENT FIT. I always have good luck with the shoes I buy from Orthofeet. They have a quality product and I trust their guarantee that says they will work with a customer to assure the best fit.

But with seven purchases in the past three years, I have yet to need to return any style and will continue to shop Orthofeet with confidence!.

At first I thought the shoe was too big, but after I inserted the extra insoles they fit snug and became even softer on the inside. It’s like wearing a sneaker, they are extra soft and comfortable and, light weight, I even have an extra pep in my step.

I love love love them. They are the most comfort shoes that I have ever worn. I have plantar faciitis and have custom made inserts, however my podiatrist approve of me wearing these shoes without the inserts as long as my heels are comfortable and I must say so far I have not had to wear the insoles with these shoes.

Last year, I bought my first pairs of Jillian Braided Quarter Strap sandals in a brick and mortar store about 20 miles away from my home. I absolutely found them to be the most comfortable sandals I’ve ever owned! This year, when I wanted to add a new color sandal for a trip I’m taking, I saved gasoline and time by ordering from the Aetrex website.

I was thrilled with the service and the shoes. I normally have a lot of foot pain, but I can wear the Jillian style all day without pain. I can easily adjust the tightness of the two straps if my feet begin to swell or tighten them if they feel loose.

I love softness of the leather, the extra cushion that is built into the back strap and into the foot bed, as well as the width of the toe box and arch support of these sandals. It’s not easy for me to find shoes that meet my needs, feel great, and go the distance in durability.

I love these shoes!.

I recently replaced my Navy Jillian QS sandals. I also needed to replace my Stone Jillian QS sandals. Alas, Stone has been discontinued. I had to chose from Gunmetal or Bronze. I chose Gunmetal. These sandals are wearing just as great as all of my other Jillian QS sandals.

I have them in black and white also. I hope this style will not be tweaked, new and improved, or altered in any way. The shoe is comfortable from the very first wearing. I have worn either Navy or Stone in the summer every day for 5 or 6 years.

I very am satisfied with how long they have lasted. I still hope that Stone will be added back.

I think most people will love these, but my plantar fasciitis started to act up after years without any inkling of it after wearing these one short day. The arch is very squishy, which feels nice for comfort, but doesn’t support my moderate height arches the way my custom orthotics and Abeo sandals do.

I guess I have to return to the uglier Abeo because these just didn’t cut it for me. I have to send them back. I’m still giving them four stars because they are cute, appear well made and very soft under foot right out of the box, no break in period needed.

I really like the contour shape to the heel strap! Ingenuous.
