I have a heel spur and PF. I needed shoes that I could walk in for 1 hour 4 days a week that would not exasperate my heel pain. During the day I wear high heels at work which are perfect. But I needed to excercise and could not do that in high heels. Based on reviews I thought these were the right choice. They are not. They did not help. They are not comfortable. My feet are in more pain walking in these for 1 hour than 8 hours in high heeled pumps.
