I too have Plantar Faciitis.  Even though the Podiatrist said these are the best, I found them to be painful within a few minutes of walking. Not sure why, as I can wear Vionic flip flops and sandals with no problem. I can clearly see the arch support in these shoes, and even added an insert. It's disappointing because I haven't been able to work out since the injury (May 2015) These maybe good for others, but not for me and I don't now why.<br /><br />I think it's just me. The shoes may work for you.
