well, I have plantar fasciatis or however you spell it...
tried Avia and New Balance shoes (which I do wear when I have to)with and without inserts, etc but finally decided to try Crocs since I'm also on the diabetes list on yahoo and several people talked about how comfortable they are..
I've always thought they were ugly as sin (still do) BUT....
I got some of the "Relief" ones that are made for foot pain AND I CAN WALK..
how about that....
I also have some of the Silver Cloud ones for diabetics but prefer the Relief ones...
If you have a Croc outlet nearby (we drive over 100 miles to get to one) you can try them out...
Now, DO NOT buy el cheapo ripoffs from Walmart and expect them to fit like Relief Crocs - take my word for it - no comparison...
