text: I love these sandals, they're like ninja orthopedic shoes compared to what I've known as &#34;orthopedic&#34; clod hoppers I've seen on elderly or other folks  who've been forced in to them to relieve pain through the years.<br />Very well constructed and PRETTY.  Awesome combination.  I've been dealing with a raging case of plantar fasciitis for about 3 years, have had multiple cortisone injections and am now considering surgery.  These shoes have really afforded some relief which is huge when every step I take is like walking on nails.<br />One thing I would pass along in MY situation is that I am a size 7 1/2 and ordered an 8.  These run a little long but the adjustable ankle strap takes care of making sure my foot doesn't slide around and that the arch support is on point.  I would strongly consider erring on the next size down versus up.  Your mileage may vary on this issue but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Will be back for more of this brand's sandals and shoes.
