text: I really love these shoes.  I am hopeful that they are going to help clear up my very stubborn plantar fasciitis.  I tried the &#34;Old Friend&#34; ones first and they were nice too, but they began to fall apart after just a few wearings.  That company was very nice about giving me my money back and I used it toward buying these, which  were twice as expensive.  But I think these are better quality.
