Kind of odd looking, but very comfortable and theraputic.

I have plantar fasciitis. It affects me in three major ways. First, my feet hurt unless I wear proper shoes. Second, I can’t really go barefoot at all or my feet will ache madly. Third, my shoe costs have exploded. No more Payless for me. My closet is full of Ecco, Dansk and other shoes costing $100 or more.

I bought a pair of Skechers Cadence Shapeup sandals yesterday.  Skechers recommends wearing them in small doses initially, but I wore them out of the store and walked about 1.5 miles around the large outlet center I bought them in.  I then wore them the rest of the evening, to dinner, and around the hotel.

AND MY FEET FEEL GREAT. Often my feet keep me awake after a long day on them, but not today – they felt great.

I can’t attest to the posture, weight and strength claims Skechers makes for these shoes. I’ll report on that after a month or two wearing them.  But I can say that if you have plantars fasciitis you will definitely want to try them on.
