I am overweight and was looking for a shoe that I could walk in while on the treadmill. I have always been active, my weight has yo-yo'd, and I've tried every workout equipment available. No show has ever compared to this comfort wise. I have always worn Nike's and was wearing Nike 360's and these shoes blow them out of the water. I no longer focus on how much my feet hurt while working out and my blisters are disappearing slowly but surely. These shoes aren't cute as they look like clown shoes but who cares when comfort is involved. Don't buy these in the store, you can get them much cheaper here and online.

When I was looking for shoes, I had some recommendations from my Physical Therapist. She suggested either New Balance or Brooks. I needed a fairly straight shoe since I over-pronate and needed a built up heel area with extra support. The shoe is absolutely perfect for me. Everything as stated above with extra height in the toe box. The length and width were exactly what I normally wear in a shoe. The shoes are incredibly comfortable and provide stability to bad knees. Great for a runner to protect against the pounding or for non-runners with specific shoe requirements...and the lollipop color wasn't as bad as it sounded.

I have several pair of New Balance sneakers in different styles, 992, 881, 882, 644, 621 and these. While I like all of them, this pair is the star of the crowd. They are very comfortable and they have great cushioning. I think it would be impossible for me to sprain an ankle while wearing them. They are worth every penny of their price.

These New Balances are just what I needed for my plantar faciatis. I went for a walk and wore them at work for three days straight. They are lighweight and supportive. A little pricey, but worth every penny. Make sure you order a half size up, they run small and I had to send my first pair back.

I have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur. My podiatrist recommended this shoe specifically. It is a very comfortable shoe without an orthotic and even more comfortable with it. I can walk for hours with no heel pain. The mesh upper keeps my feet cool and the lilac and dark purple (lollipop) accents are very nice.

I was suffering daily from Plantar-Fasciitis. I work in a whare house enviroment. The concrete was killing my feet, ankles and knees. I had avoided buys these shoes because of price, I also thought they were "medical" looking. I fianlly couldnt handle the pain any longer and bought these shoes. They are great. Over time the Plantar-Fasciitis has been healing. I feel much better, and it was worth wearing ugly shoes to work, so I could feel better and stop limping all over. I highly recomend them to anyone who wants to combat foot pain. they are ugly, but worth it! they feel awsome, and make feet happy.

Thirteen months ago I was beginning to suffer with plantar fasciitis to the point where I couldn't walk more than ten to fifteen minutes on a treadmill before I had to switch to a stationary bike. I finally visited my local specialty shoe store and after testing my feet and watching my stride they recommended these shoes. Within a month of wearing these I had almost no foot pain and I began training for a half marathon last fall. I'm happy to say I finished the Austin half marathon two weeks ago with no foot pain! These shoes are incredible! And be sure to pair these with good socks. I love Thorlo's walking socks.

Was told these run a little small, but I should have stayed with my normal size since they're wide. The shoes are very stable, great for planar faciitis and people needing more heel cushioning. Legs were sore the first few days just because I was using my muscles differently. I'm still getting used to them. I'm a nurse, on my feet for many hours at a time and these are just what I needed.

I purchased a pair of these for my wife who has suffered from chonic foot and back pain. She is wearing them for her weekend walks and loves them. Claims no pain in either her feet or her back. She raves that "they are the best shoe she has ever worn."

I have a lot of heel pain from plantar fasciitis. This sneaker is very comfortable. Fits true to size. I highly recommend.
