I had just the opposite problem with SAS shoes. I developed plantar fascitis in both heels after I started wearing SAS. I had surgery on one heel and changed to Skechers because SAS's prices were too high and my other heel stopped bothering me. Wish that I had changed brands before the surgery. I spent a ton of money on different things that the insurance wouldn't pay before the surgery, trying to avoid surgery. Now I know why they wouldn't pay for them.

Also i wear the various good sport shoes - no more $20 - $50.00 pairs of shoes for me.
