20 Best Pickleball Shoes For Plantar Fasciitis (2023 Updated)

IšverstiShow in original language👟 FITVILLE WALKING SHOES REVIEW 👟 I was asked to give an honest review by Fitville (an international company using cutting edge science to create their shoes). I am not in the business of giving a good review in exchange for free gifts-so this is a honest as it gets! 👟 As I had not heard of Fitville I was slightly sceptical (were they connected to Farmville?😅) but my scepticism was proven to be unfounded! 👟 I have suffered some foot issues over the years – a bunion removal operation, plantar fasciitis and achilles tendon issues.

👟 Although I have a fairly small bone frame my feet however are quite wide. I’ve often had to go to the men’s section to find trainers as women’s sizing can be too narrow in the toe area for me. In other words these shoes are designed with the wider foot in mind wide2E/ extra wide4E.

👟 So when Fitville asked me if I was interested in trying their shoes I seized the offer with two feet😁and can I say I have not been disappointed! 👟 When I put on these Rebound Core (woman’s) in sandy grey – (they do a Gent’s range also) I actually did not take them off for the entire day! It was as if I had worn them for months! There was no breaking in period at all.

I also loved the rubberised non slip soles especially when walking out in the Scottish rain. 👟 These shoes are equipped with wide toe boxes, patented PropelCoreTM EVA soles, and shock-absorbing pads, I literally felt I was walking on air with the cushioned inserts provided.

They also felt very light to wear. 👟 Most of all I love how stylish they are! I wondered would they have the look of shoes designed for the ermm. elderly. but not at all! In fact I had to prevent my daughter (24 yrs) @lookswithlaura from acquiring them for herself! 😂 👟 Can’t wait for summer walks here in the Highlands of Scotland with these stylish and comfortable shoes.

Thank you so much @thefitville.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have Multiple Sclerosis which means I have very strange feet that I can not wear most shoes. I can no longer walk on sandy beaches as too painful and my balance is not good either so a supportive shoe is vital.

3 years ago I broke my leg then Covid so my movement was greatly inhibited. I have only found one brand of trainers I can wear and have lived in them for over a year now. I had looked at Fitville and thought it might be worth a try and finally I have.

I bought them about a month ago and have slowly started using them, day at a time for a few hours to get my over sensitive feet used to them. I wore them for a couple of days at a time a few times and now for the last 3 days continuously! I walked over a patch of land, grassed but uneven today that I haven’t done for 3 years with our dog.

A bouncy Labrador pointer rescue. I find I can drive much better in them and can feel the soles of my feet too and wiggle and move my feet/toes. I actually forgot to take my cane and only realised when I thought something is missing! I went without it even when I realised.

Not for too long but trainers have a wide supportive sole which I realised are easier to stand with that extra support. So if this is how a person with a real physical challenge can be made to feel, just try them.

I am now going to try the trainers you don’t have to bend to do up laces and are quite cute too. Nice colours. and use them as supportive slippers. I am so glad I took the plunge and bought them. Dark blue rebound core ladies.

I bought ladies 6 and they are true to size. Don’t be tempted to size down because wider. I have been 6 all my life, 39 European. And the extra width gives more movement to my feet. I have a smaller foot by half a size but bought to fit the larger foot.

I hope this review may help others with weird feet, neuropathy etc. Those with fabulous normal feet, these will be just amazing! Thank you for reading, i hope this helps. To be able to walk again on land I have not been able to for 3 years gives such hope and pleasure.

IšverstiShow in original languageI got these because of awful problems with my feet, particularly fasciitis and achilles problems, and I have to walk quite a bit. I needed a comfortable fit. These come in 2 sizes of width, the WIDE was perfect for me rather than EXTRA WIDE.

I was able to judge the correct size by measuring my foot length and using the fitting guide. Perfect. The support they give is very good even though they are very light weight shoes. They have what they call an anti-pronation ring which helps stop my foot from rolling inwards as I walk.

I knocked off a star though because they are not waterproof. For £75 I’d have expected a waterproof membrane to be built in. Having said that, I would buy again.

IšverstiShow in original languageUnfortunately my trainers didn’t fit. Good width across toes, too wide over-rest of foot. Also too short. Fabric tops are a cheap poor quality. Soles seem to be durable.

My major problem is that it’s impossible to return the trainers. Fitville admitted that it’s expensive to return to their distributor in Germany and offered me a refund of £50 instead, and that I keep the trainers.

This is a thoughtful gesture, however I would have preferred a full refund or trainers that actually fit, but I’m not prepared to try another size and having the same returns problem. This company needs to sort out their returns issues before they are real contenders in the trainer market!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI purchased the Blue stretch sneakers for my son. I bought him two pair so far and he loves them. Size and comfort are five star. I also bought sneakers and sandals for myself.

The sneakers are very comfortable, but has not helped reduce the pain from neuropathy and Fibromyalgia. I love the sandals, but under the buckle on one foot the strap cuts into the top of my foot. This makes it hard to walk in.

Do you have something to put under the strap to help with the irritation like a piece of velcro that will match the black strap color? They should be listed under my account. Thanks for allowing me to send a review.

IšverstiShow in original languageLove the comfort and pain free feeling with these shoes on my feet, back, knees and neck. The 1/8 and 1/16 inch insert options have greatly contributed to the pain free feeling.

I was told years ago by a chiropractor that my left leg is 5mm shorter than my right leg. The two inserts combined are 4. 97mm and probably is a reason why the pain has gone away (not to mention the overall quality of the Orthofeet shoe).

BTW I also bought a grey lava stretch knit and Edgewater stretch knit black and also feel great to my feet, back, knees and neck. I would highly recommend all three of these shoe types.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have been playing active sports my entire life and I coach tennis so I am on my feet all day. Having had Achilles Tendonitis and Plantar Fasciitis in both feet as well as arthritis in both knees, I have learned to just get by each day cringing in pain.

Since getting my Ortho Feet shoes less then a month ago, I am pain free and can even run a bit. Changed my life. Also, I don’t look like I am wearing “old man’s” shoes. I have told many people about Ortho Feet and they have ordered and are experiencing the same results.

Awesome product.

IšverstiShow in original languageLast year, I bought my first pairs of Jillian Braided Quarter Strap sandals in a brick and mortar store about 20 miles away from my home. I absolutely found them to be the most comfortable sandals I’ve ever owned! This year, when I wanted to add a new color sandal for a trip I’m taking, I saved gasoline and time by ordering from the Aetrex website.

I was thrilled with the service and the shoes. I normally have a lot of foot pain, but I can wear the Jillian style all day without pain. I can easily adjust the tightness of the two straps if my feet begin to swell or tighten them if they feel loose.

I love softness of the leather, the extra cushion that is built into the back strap and into the foot bed, as well as the width of the toe box and arch support of these sandals. It’s not easy for me to find shoes that meet my needs, feel great, and go the distance in durability.

I love these shoes!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI recently replaced my Navy Jillian QS sandals. I also needed to replace my Stone Jillian QS sandals. Alas, Stone has been discontinued. I had to chose from Gunmetal or Bronze.

I chose Gunmetal. These sandals are wearing just as great as all of my other Jillian QS sandals. I have them in black and white also. I hope this style will not be tweaked, new and improved, or altered in any way.

The shoe is comfortable from the very first wearing. I have worn either Navy or Stone in the summer every day for 5 or 6 years. I very am satisfied with how long they have lasted. I still hope that Stone will be added back.

IšverstiShow in original languageI think most people will love these, but my plantar fasciitis started to act up after years without any inkling of it after wearing these one short day. The arch is very squishy, which feels nice for comfort, but doesn’t support my moderate height arches the way my custom orthotics and Abeo sandals do.

I guess I have to return to the uglier Abeo because these just didn’t cut it for me. I have to send them back. I’m still giving them four stars because they are cute, appear well made and very soft under foot right out of the box, no break in period needed.

I really like the contour shape to the heel strap! Ingenuous.

IšverstiShow in original languageI first bought the Gekko Man slippers. Wore them as “work from home” footware for 10 months straight. Thew most comfortable, supportive slippers I have ever worn. They actually made me feel more stable than my old slippers and the slip on shoes I already had.

Now comes the Gekko Man shoes, hands down the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. They aren’t that light due to the beefier boat shoe type sole, but the leather contoured footbed in conjunction with the soles are super supportive, cool and comfy.

I even bought my 84 y/o father a pair and he absolutely loves them too. They fit true to size and have a generous toebox and forefoot. Highly recommended.

IšverstiShow in original languageThese shoes are really comfortable from day one. Squishy even, yet have nice arch support. Having neuropathy in my toes I don’t like tight shoes so I tried these since the uppers are flexible.

They feel nearly like slippers but I find myself wanting a little more support around the middle of my foot since they bend a bit to either side while walking. I would suggest ordering a half size smaller.

The gray color is very versatile, on the lighter side perfect for wearing with khaki shorts yet looks fine with dark blue or black jeans. I like the lighter color but in the past they’re hard to clean so I appreciate these being washable, however I have not tried washing them yet.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have plantar fasciitis in both feet, and usually wear different varieties of Crocs, but wanted to try something different. These are very comfortable. Some people complain they are the most uncomfortable shoes they’ve ever worn and returned them.

I thought so too, until I noticed the cardboard insert inside! I didn’t even see it, just felt it, and thought something was wrong. After that was out and after breaking in a day or two, they are the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn.

IšverstiShow in original languageHi, my history is that I was born with slightly deformed feet. All my life I have had to wear a bigger size – I buy a size 7 and a half to 8 to fit my foot which has a size 6 length (UK sizes).

These are the first sport shoes in my size (6) ever that I have been able to wear brand new (my mother used to walk mine in for me) and I literally could make them my profile picture, they have brought me so much joy.

The are super comfortable, when I say super. slipper comfortable. I will be buying all my shoes from fitville from now. I am so chuffed. Now no excuse for bad tennis playing.

IšverstiShow in original languageI bought these shoes because I have a lot of issues with my feet. Just had surgery for a bone spur removal on the top of my foot and also have bone spurs on my heals as well as inflamed plantar in the heal area.

I was excited to buy these shoes because of all the positive reviews. It did take a while to break them in. While they are not terrible, they are not what I hoped for. Maybe if I didn’t have so many things wrong with my feet they would be better, but I’m still in search of that comfortable shoe.

These shoes are not horrible by any means. I feel like they could be comfortable without issues. They do provide good heal support. My other problem is that they rub the side of my foot by my toes. I feel like 3 stars isn’t good enough but 4 stars would be too many.

I would probably go with a 3. 5. I think some people would really like them. While they are not my favorite, I do still wear them, just not every day. If you have really wide feet, I would not recommend them.

IšverstiShow in original languageI’ve struggled with plantar fasciitis for about 4 years now. I actually had surgery 3 years ago to correct it in my left foot. I was resigned to being forced to wear ugly shoes for the rest of my life, but I figured I’d give this shoe a try.

I was not disappointed! I read all the reviews, took the time to break them in, and will definitely be buying another pair when these need to be replaced. The arch support is fantastic. The Achilles support is awesome.

I have more narrow feet, so I was a little concerned about all the comments regarding a wide toe box. It is wide and doesn’t crunch my toes, but not so wide that it looks or feels like clown shoes like Birkenstock sandals look on me.

I can wear this shoe all day and not have any pain in my left foot anymore. They seem to be true to size. I wear and 8. 5 and ordered an 8. 5. They fit my feet perfectly. I would definitely recommend this shoe!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have had plantar fasciitis for almost a full year and have found very few things that help. I originally purchased the Quantum in midnight blue because they were the most “normal” looking orthotic shoes I could find.

I usually wear casual sneakers like Vans, Puma Suede or Adidas Gazelles (all not great for PF as it turns out). I tried several inserts and some were better than others, but none really made the shoes I like to wear work.

As I started looking into specialized orthotic shoes so many of the shoes specialized for PF just looked. odd. I will say that these are the first shoes I’ve found that really do feel good to walk around in.

They cradle my heel in a way that is mostly pain free. They’re not a miracle cure though. I’m a teacher and have no choice but to spend most of the day on my feet, and although these shoes do make things significantly better, I still often feel pain by the end of the day.

That’s not the fault of the shoes. They really are the most comfortable shoes I’ve been able to find. I even purchased a pair of the Atom’s for when I want a more “running shoe” look, and they feel just as good.

I would recommend these for anyone with PF, but temper your expectations. I’m sure for some people these might help your PF go away completely – and to be fair I’ve only been wearing them for a few weeks – but for me they have not been a cure.

Still, they do feel better than anything I’ve worn and I’ve been looking around and desperately trying things for a while. They fit true to size for me, with a good amount of room in the toe box. I know the arch support is there, but several of the orthotic inserts I’ve tried were better in that specific part of the foot.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have been wearing the vionics Plantar Fasciitis Orthopedic Shoes for approximately 5 years now. I had 4 pairs and just purchased a 5th pair. I wear them essentially every where.

Cutting the grass with a power push mower, exercising rowing, biking and walking, for casual wear going to the grocery , on social occasions etc. I found their support to be superior to any other products.

I have all the original shoes but even though I have definitely put many miles on the shoes. The most recent purchase is to soon replace the shoes worn for exercising. My one critical comment about a very well constructed supportive shoe is the length of the shoe laces.

They are too long and represent a tripping threat. That is the reason why I can’t give them a five star rating.

IšverstiShow in original languageI purchased this shoe in white a few years back for my husband who suffers from flat feet and plantar fasciitis. I ordered a half size up as recommended and the shoes fit perfectly.

My husband loved the fit and was able to spend all day on his feet at work without pain or discomfort. The shoes were starting to show their age from daily wear, so I ordered a new pair, this time in black.

Same shoe, same size, different color. The black shoes were so tight my husband couldn’t even get his foot in the shoe. We returned the black shoes and reordered in white. Same shoe, same size, perfect fit.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have finicky feet that require arches and support when walking or standing for long periods. So, I was reluctant to invest in shoes just for pickle ball when I had comfortable shoes already.

After taking a little tumble on the court, I made the decision to research shoes. These got great reviews. I tried them out on the court today. These shoes have more surface area and hug the court, providing better stability and pivotal movement capability.

Even though there is not great arch support, my feet were very happy. Purchasing these shoes was a great decision!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have been wearing Fila court shoes while playing Pickleball but the treads seem to wear quickly. I wanted to try the Fila Pickleball shoe. So far, so good. They are true to size and after a brief wear-in (sometimes each time I put them on), they are very comfortable.

I am able to move around the court well and I am hoping they will last longer than my old court shoes. They are also very stylish and look great on my feet!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI purchased these in my “regular” size – 10W. Am very thankful QVC seems to have great shoes in sizes for people with larger and wider feet. I tried this shoe because I have metatarsus adductus – c-curved feet.

It was never corrected when I was a child and I only discovered the issue after I went to a podiatrist. Typically finding supportive, fashionable shoes is a royal annoyance. I have to wear custom orthotics.

Saw these and thought I would give them a try. As I was working out in them the big toe on my left foot kept bumping into the front of the shoe–hmmm. too small. But I liked all the other aspects of fit and comfort.

Sooooooooo I decided to try another pair in a 1/2 size larger. PERFECT workout shoe! I’m keeping both pairs. So if you are like me consider sizing up a 1/2 size in these. Other than that I have never had such a comfortable supportive shoe that fits my custom orthotics beautifully! Thank you, GDEFY!!! Now if you only made shoes other than athletic ones with the same support comfort.

PLEASE?????.

IšverstiShow in original languageI rarely write reviews but use them myself extensively, so I really have to submit one about these shoes. I have high arches and always get arch pain and other foot problems when walking.

Not with these. These are by far the most supportive and comfortable walking shoes (including sneakers and hiking boots!) I have ever worn. They provide several different orthotic inserts that you can try separately or put them all together, and this is the key.

You must try the different variations to get just the right fit and level of support you are looking for (read the instructions!). I ended up using all of the orthotics together and do not get the heal pain from walking that I would always get from other shoes (even Keen hiking boots, which I love, and Skechers Archfits, which I also love).

Just try them!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have been looking for some good athletic shoes for a while due to planter and other feet issues. To go grocery shopping, etc is very painful. Standing in one spot for longer than a few seconds makes my feet hurt.

They feel like I am standing on bone with no padding. A friend bought these and after checking them out, I decided to give them a try. So glad I did. First they have a lot of support on the bottom, where my feet aren’t even close to the floor.

Then they include two inserts for added padding. I wore them shopping and they make all the difference in the world. Finally a shoe that is “cushy” enough to keep my sensitive feet from hurting. Highly recommend!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI was skeptical of ordering these shoes at first because I do have continual back pain, but not foot pain and I also have a narrow foot not wide. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the size medium shoes fit me.

For the first week I walked around my house with them on to give myself time to get use to them in the comfort of my home. They do elevate my arch more than I am use to, but I believe this to be a good thing! I live in flip flops so my feet are constantly flat and causing me severe back pain.

Once I started wearing these shoes out I was hooked! When I went back to my flip flops I instantly had back pain again. I absolutely am sold on this company! I love the fact that they are made here in America as I believe it’s so important to support our local economy.

I was drawn to the fact that the shoes are very stylish since I am 42 years young and desire a functional esthetically pleasing shoe. i am looking forward to purchasing my next shoe with Kuru and it will definitely be a flip flop!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI was walking 8km on the daily, plus what I did just around the house. My fire was really painful and limited my walks to barely 0. 5km. With my recent Morton’s Neuroma diagnosis, I knew I needed proper foot wear.

I googled shoes specific for my diagnosis and was brought to the Kuru site. I found a pair I liked but hesitated on the price. My wonderful mom said she’d buy them and so I gladly accepted. To wear them around the house while breaking them in was wonderful! So much so, that I feared wearing them out because then I won’t have indoor shoes! This past weekend I finally wore them to the park with my kids.

They are oh so comfy and stylish. I want/need to get another pair for indoors and for outdoor summer weather. Kuru is great in that they make a variety of styles, one (or two or three) to suit even the pickiest of consumers.

My hesitation on ordering more, like I’ve said before, is the price. If they were more affordable, my rating would be 5 out of 5.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis is my second purchase of Kuru’s Atom style within a month. I had a great toe fusion in my right foot almost a year ago and left foot Achilles tendonitis with calcification at the insertion site and bone spurs.

Walking was extremely painful even with high end athletic shoes, ice, heat, and medication. I stumbled upon the Kuru site; this style has completely changed my life. It offers amazing cushioning, support, holds my heel in place and is high enough in the back to not cause pressure on my tendon; the mesh in front allows for the extra room I need.

In my opinion runs true to size with a wide toe box. I did not need a break in period. As a nurse and gym member, I am now able to participate in activities I enjoy, pain free!.

Little to no break in required. I have somewhat wide foot, in the E-2E range, wearing a 10. 5EE dress shoe. I had to go up a full size to 11. 5, but very happy with the fit. Found these to be more comfortable than the 3.

0 version. Have been wearing them to drills and weekend doubles matches. Too early to tell about long term wear, but suspect they will be fine given my overall experience with mulitple pairs of head shoes.

Its a little hard to tell from the picture, but the shoes are actually 3-tone, with a dark gray toe section, followed by the yellow neon accent, and a black heel section. Remember to take out the insole and remove the underlying sticker so that the shoes breath properly.

I was a bit hesitant about buying shoes on line but after looking at the many pairs of different shoes I have which are all around the same size, how could I go wrong. Well it appears that the head people might have shrunken their foot ruler somewhat.

They seemed a little tight when prancing around the house but I thought they should be okay, what I didn’t allow for was the fact that feet swell a bit when they get hot. One half size bigger would have been better but in my case they should be still okay and hopefully they will give a little over time.

After reading the blurb on line they sounded like they might have great cushioning but I would rate it as moderate compared to the balance of my footwear. On the plus side the grip is great on synthetic courts, they feel very stable and give you confidence when moving about the court.

If I’m to be fair, maybe some of the stability comes from the fact that they are on the firm side of the scales. The ventilation system seems to works well as my socks seemed noticeably dryer after a good workout on court.

I’ll be honest, it was the price that swayed my acquisition, so I figure that I’m probably getting reasonable value for money and given I’m just a weekend wannabe, they will do just fine until maybe I spy something better.

These fit me very well in length and medium-wide width. But the contouring of the insole did not seem to match the contours of my foot, and I have a very average kind of foot. It also seemed to be very short on cushioning.

Not comfortable, therefore. Returned. The search continues.

I’ve had my new kicks for a few weeks, but feel it’s too soon to write a review Of a love or hate relationship. At first it felt like the arches weren’t placed on my arch properly. Over time that seems to be adjusting.

The size I did go a 1/2 size up. I’m torn. My foot doesn’t slip but they feel big and clunky. With that said, I’m used to topo shoes which are small and light weight, so am I comparing brands or have a true fitting issue!? Not sure, too soon to tell.

I love the tight heel, the color and over all look. The feel. Well, as I’ve said, too soon to write a fair review, so I have it 3 stars until I’ve had time to really wear and adjust to these new kicks.

If I do end up loving it, please make more appealing dress shoes. What is out there now are truly old lady styles and Kuru needs to get with the times.

I have a bad bunion on only my right foot and I’ve been using custom orthotics inside regular sneakers (currently wearing Nike flyknit). I was hoping these shoes would be as advertised in helping relieve foot pain but unfortunately did not.

I have been wearing them for almost 3 weeks now. I am on my feet for 7-8 hours a day for work and I have never felt the kind of calf muscle strain as I have with these shoes. It is stiff and heavy even after breaking into them.

The only positive I can say is that it looks nice, unlike some of the foot corrector or bunion specific shoes. Sad I feel like I have wasted money and these shoes will probably sit in the shoe box until donated.

IšverstiShow in original languageOMG! I have never had a better online shoe purchase experience. I’ve tried several times to purchase shoes online and it’s been a huge drag. With these shoes, they were a fit right out of the box.

I really loved how they didn’t dig into my ankle, as they were low cut enough. Also where the tongue meets the top of my foot, it was not restrictive nor uncomfortable in the least. I sized up. 5. Normally I wear between an eight and 8 1/2 and I purchased an 8 1/2.

The shoes are incredibly comfortable. I do not have plantar fasciitis, but I often feel sore at the end of my shifts. I stand on my feet a lot as a chef. My lower back usually hurts by hour number five.

Not with these-I am not tired and my back doesn’t hurt. They give plenty of support and they actually look attractive! I bought the white shoes with the blue trim. I super highly recommend them for those people who stand on their feet for long periods of time.

IšverstiShow in original languageI use these shoes for walking. Not on a flat surface, but on a county road that goes up and down. Also for a every day shoe. I ordered a 1/2 size down as instructed and wish I had kept the whole size instead.

I find that the end of my toe sometimes hits the end of my shoe when going down hill. The foot box is really spacy so my feet slide around a bit. But overall, I like the style and tread, doesn’t gather a lot of gravel in the tread.

The support is great.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis is my 3rd or 4th walking shoes, I stick to this brand, really great already proven. I was at the park on my walks & a mother & daughter noticed my shoes, I said this pair of shoes are really great for walking.

I’m hoping it won’t be discontinued, should order 1 more. Many thanks, please sign me as L. Holden.

IšverstiShow in original languageHaving had a decades-long history of ill-fitting shoes that did not promote good foot health I finally discovered Kuru shoes. Pace is one of eight pairs of Kuru shoes that I have purchased over the past few years.

I first purchased the ankle-height, laced Kuru (apparently no long offered) for the advertised foot support which I loved, then the Kivi for everyday use, the Pace for summer more formal use, two pairs of Chicanes for fall-ish outdoor activies, one Atom for the “Y”, one Current for everyday summer actives, and I now have on order the Kala for beach.

I am, as you might guess, eliminating almost all other brands. Why? Because Kurus shoes are perfect for me. The fit, feel, style, quality and multiplicity of uses and applications fit my varied lifestyle of which there is no peer.

I highly recommend them and the company. The bonus: No more foot pain.

IšverstiShow in original languageAfter reading other reviews, I decided to give these a try. Most of the other KURU shoes I’ve purchased have been great but one just wasn’t right for me. I bought these as house shoes and they are good for that.

I’m not crazy about the sole but it was only a problem on a wet tile floor. The collapsing heel function is okay for hobbling down to breakfast but not comfortable enough for wear all day. The shoe is designed around that function, so it has a loose heel, higher arch and tighter instep.

That’s okay for indoors but I wouldn’t want that feel out and about as a casual shoe. The wider heel also negates part of that famous KURU contoured heel that some of us need. A good shoe, but know what is good for and what it’s not.

IšverstiShow in original languageI needed a boat shoe that I could wear while working on the boat. I have a 60 foot classic yacht and do a lot of work myself. I bought a pair of Pace two years ago and have beat them up.

Amazing technology. They feel like the day I bought them. Still supporting my arches, soft inside, tough outside. Paint, dust, varnish, boatyard mud, up ladders, down ladders, on my knees scuffing the toes.

Who cares? I wash them with a brush, soap and water, let them dry in the sun and keep going. They look and feel very nice after two seasons of abuse. I’ve been waiting to write this review to see how the shoes performed.

Thank you KURU for a great pair of shoes that keep my feet and arches comfortable and pain-free.

IšverstiShow in original languageThe customer service at Kuru is very good, so far. They are helpful and willing to listen. As for the shoe, I feel the shoe is decently comfortable. I am not a big fan of the thick cloth material that is under the insole of the shoe.

The thick cloth material always makes it feel as though there is something stuck in the shoe. After a hand full of outings that feeling has mostly gone away. What I can’t get over is the squeaking of both shoes.

The first pair I had squeaked whether I had the insoles in or not. I spoke with customer service, explained the issue and they sent me a new pair right away. Like I said “very good customer service so far.

” I now have my second pair and unfortunately the squeak is back. This time the squeak goes away if I remove the insole. However, as soon as my feet warm up in the shoes they both squeak with every step.

I plan to talk with customer service again on this issue. I will be asking for my money back this time. My guess is that there is a design flaw in the shoe, which is unfortunate because I really liked the design.

I was really into this shoe until both pairs I got squeaked with every step.

IšverstiShow in original languageI was having arch, heal, leg and hip pain. I’ve been wearing the NB shoe for years. I work on concrete in the factory 8-12 hrs a day and it was pretty hard getting out of the car after the hour drive home.

I had to do something and I decided to try this shoe to see if it would ease my discomfort before spending a fortune at the podiatrist, I am here to tell you I am glad I made this purchase. The shoe is well made, looks good and feels great.

It took about 2 weeks for my pain to be almost completely gone. I can not tell you if my other shoe was sized wrong, not as well made or what, but I can tell you for sure that I am glad I made the purchase.

I wear a 10. 5 US normally. I can tell you that the 10. 5 wide shoe I purchased is a snug fit. You will not be able to add additional supports. I hope this review is helpful in your decision.

IšverstiShow in original languageAfter running a marathon last year, I developed pretty bad plantar fasciitis. I had been wearing a pair of old running shoes as my daily shoe, but they were getting worn down and so I started looking for an alternative daily shoe that would hold up to active, outdoor wear and be helpful for my plantar fasciitis pain.

I found Kuru through research, and decided to purchase a pair of the Chicane Mesh Plantar Fasciitis Shoes in Black/Red. I typically do not buy shoes online that I’ve already been wearing or tried on somewhere else, but based on my research and reviews I decided to take the chance, and I’m very glad I did.

I did follow the recommended break-in period by Kuru, wearing them about 3 hours per day for a week or so before wearing them full time. I’ve now been wearing them as my full time daily shoe, and they are very comforting for my plantar fasciitis pain.

They have a great cushion, and good arch support. They soles are heavier than I was used to since I had been wearing running shoes, but I got used to that pretty quickly. The primary drawback is that the heel of the shoe is low and looser than I prefer.

I have to tie them quite tightly for the heel not to slip, which in turn gets uncomfortable on the tops of my feet after wearing them for a while. Otherwise, I feel good about the purchase and would recommend them for someone looking for a solid daily use shoe that helps with plantar fasciitis pain.

First – this is my first pair of any court shoe as I’m a runner and that’s what I am familiar with. The front 2/3 of the shoe fits really well. The toe box feels good. The stiffness of the shoe seems adequate for what it’s meant to do.

The shoes do seem true to size. Now the negative – the heel area to halfway through the ankle there is very little support. The heel area actually feels like the shoe is 2 sizes too big and too much area around it.

I tried compensation with thicker socks but there’s still too much room.

These shoes are great for wide feet. My pinky toes are happy. I added an insole because they are not very cushiony but love everything else.
