Has anyone tried these for plantar fasciitis?  I saw an ad on the internet.  Free shipping, 60 day trial,3 payments.  They are $99-$120.

I have not used that brand, but after  dealing with worsening plantar fasciatis for over a year I tried kurufootwear.   After using regularly for about a month, my pain improved and eventually resolved completely.  A number of friends have had good results also.  They have a unique heel cup that takes the pressure off the tender spot. Lots of styles. Online chat can help you select the right shoe for your needs.

I have other foot problems, but I have looked at their site before and came away thinking it is a scam.  Their insoles aren't all that and the same styles keep showing up for every "problem".

 

Perhaps you should ask your medical folks or go try some on at a shoe store that will evaluate you.

@MoJoV. My DH swears by them.  He has numerous issues and trying to find shoes that fit, had support, looked nice, and didn't cost hundreds of dollars would take hours.  He saw an ad for this brand and checked out the website.  Now, he's borderline obsessed.   He has all sorts of this brand from dress shoe to sandals and everything in between.  And, he even buys their socks.  Best of all, he hasn't complained of foot issues since he started wearing them.  The website usually has sale items listed.

Hope this helps.

@grandma r Thank you so much for your input.  It's such a help to have someone who has actually bought and worn the shoes.
