I purchased these over a year ago and have worn them 12 hours a day 5 days a week and as a physician I am on my feet running around the whole time. Besides being the most comfortable set of shoes I have ever owned they have stood up longer then any other shoes I have owned at any price. I just purchased another 2 pair as I expect that will carry through till 2030 lolI jave planters fasciitis, these shoes allow me to stand for about 44 minutes with little pain. Much better than other shoes!I decided to try these since I need to dress shoes for my flat feet. I was a devoted vionic customer for years, but they’re oxfords are not made at the same quality of other products.By the time I tried ortho feet my feet were sore from the and And they literally took the pressure and pain away in a very short time. The shoe strike the right balance of stability and weight (Not too heavy but not too light). I was so happy that I purchased the same shoes and brown.My only complaint is that the front toe rubber is wearing down and peeling off pretty quickly.When you are young, you can get away with wearing cheap shoes. Eventually, however, you get older, and then the quality of your shoes will matter—a LOT.I was hit with plantar fasciitis this year. At first, certain shoes caused my feet to hurt. Later, shoes that were comfortable once were now hurting my feet. Then, one day, everything hurts. It hurts most in the morning. It hurts after I sit down a while. It hurts when I walk and when I just stand. The only time it stops hurting is when I am off my feet entirely.No store-bought insert can help, either. Not more than a few hours or a couple days.These shoes have fantastic cushioning, and more arch support than most. I use the included plastic inserts and the thin spacer, along with the regular insert already in the shoe (which you pull out, and replace above the plastic arch support and spacers, in case it was not clear). I kinda wish there was another optional support for those who need just a little more.These shoes get me through the day, standing and walking on a tiled concrete floor. I was so happy with my first pair that I bought a second in the other color.These shoes are not that expensive, which leads me to imagine there may be other brands with better arch support systems, for a higher price. On a ten scale, these shoes are between 7 and 9 in terms of pain relief. I'd pay more for a ten, but I have had no luck finding anything better just yet. Buying shoes around here tends to be an exhausting, confusing, unpleasant affair.However, these shoes look great. They fit great. They take away a lot of my pain. I am very happy with these shoes. I bought two pair. I would buy more. They may not be the absolute best that you can find, but they are fantastic for the price paid.I really love this brand of shoes and probably won’t wear anything else.The fit is perfect for me. It has built in orthotics that work well for my overpronation.I feel like I am walking on clouds. It is extremely comfortable. Before wearing them I had pain in my metatarsals/forefoot and in the arch.There are two pads that give additional lift to help the shoe fit in the super to inferior aspect of the shoe.Styling is conservative. I like the look. Shoelaces stay tied unlike most other dress shoes.My tolerance for prolonged standing is markedly improved.This is my third pair from this maker. I am extremely pleased.Great for my plantar fasciitis. This is my second pair.Shoes were the correct size, but the spacers were a size larger (size printed on them so I know this for a fact). When you charge this much for shoes, buyers should receive the same size spacers as the shoes themselves…No excuse.Great pair of shoes for plantar fasciitis, hubby loves them they are stylish and look great with jeans or slacksI have bad feet....not so much anymore. ?
