text: These were suggested to me as being what I needed to walk painlessly due to plantar fasciitis.  That's not true for me.  But I think they have too much arch (for me) to be comfortable.  That is my guess as to why they are not helping me!  Plus I am a barefoot person...and the soles &#34;catch&#34; on my carpet a lot.  Hang on to the railing going downstairs.  :)  But  I like the look and for a clog they fit fine.
