This shoe helps with heel pain. I have plantar fasciitis and this is the only shoe I've found that relieves pressure from my heel. I measured my foot from the longest toe to just passed my heel and it measure 10". I ordered a medium and it fits perfectly. It is true to size. The shoe is slightly heavy and bulky. The velcro strap that goes across the ankle is a little awkward until you get used to it. The velcro is good quality. It holds. There is a slight adjustment in learning how to walk in it because the footfalls land on mid-foot instead of heel. Overall, this is a good buy for those suffering with heel pain.

Good, but the insole could be softer.

A mixed bag!! Absolutely no balance problems of any sort. It feels slightly peculiar but does not interfere with gait or balance. The down side is that it reduces but does not eliminate heel pain. Still , I'm more comfortable with it than without it.

This shoe was a big help when my plantar fasciitis was acting up. It was easy to put on and it did keep the pressure off of my heel. I wore one of these along with my regular shoe and I was fine. The fit was perfect for me. I love the adjustable straps. I could wear it with a thicker sock when it was cold, or no sock, if needed, or anything in between.

I had plantar fascitis and bought this hoping for relief. Nope. It was very uncomfortable to use because I had no other shoes with the same heel height. Imagine wearing one heeled shoe or boot and just wearing a sock on the other foot. Hard to walk, right?! That's what wearing this shoe is like.It also makes a loud clunking sound. I'm sure neighbours were looking out the window at me as I clopped down the sidewalk, wondering who the pirate with the peg leg was.And....to boot....no pun intended......it didn't offer much relief.Honestly, i you have plantar fascitis, do yourself a favor and go see a physiotherapist. I tried a bunch of products trying to relief my plantar fascitis and nothing helped very much. After only one session with a physio, I began to experience improvement and a mo th later it was almost gone.

Very good product - had to buy it again because the wound doctor at the rehab hospital ruined the insole by cutting a crescent size inside the insole which caused more pain. When I saw the specialist after being released from rehab I had to order a new one. It’s a great product. I’m felling better and the wound is healing better after three weeks.

I have been unable to walk due to a very painful heel condition (feels like one big bruise). I tried crutches but they were a pain. A scooter is also a headache to maneuver. Then I found this wedge shoe. My life has changed as now I can walk with little pressure on my heel. The quality is outstanding & it is built to last. Some complain that the material it's made out of is too hard but that's what makes it so durable & enables me to walk anywhere (little pebbles rarely get stuck in the ridged sole) & gives the shoe its utility. I suggest wearing a sock with it so as not to soil the shoe also, after you set the toe velcro the way you want it, leave it alone & just adjust the strap (which I shortened using pinking shears) when you slip the shoe off & on. This has been a game changer for me & so glad that I finally discovered this (though finding it a few weeks earlier would have saved me a lot of hobbling around). I was concerned that the sole would be too thick & make one leg longer than the other but paired with a running shoe on the other foot, I see no difference. This is one good product! My foot is a size 7-7.5 & I got the small size (my toes come to the very edge of the shoe) a medium might have been the better size choice but I like the snug way this one feels. If you are enduring heel pain for one reason or another, this will give you fantastic relief as it puts the weight more on the ball of the foot.

After purchasing Numerous foot products, to alevate my heel pain when walking, this wedge bootie helps considerably. For those of you who know how an injury to your heel is excruciatingly painful , not to mention constantly walking on the ball of your foot, this design helps with less pressure exerted on the ball of foot as well as the heel. Didn't like the bootie initially, but after a week I found that if I walk gently, starting with the heel first than rolling forward, it works for me, versus just walking on the ball of my foot.....heel, toe, heel toe motion. The design of this product is unique for heel pain. And it's wide enough if you need to add some foam padding for more relief. The Velcro straps cinch up the boot perfectly, and the company added an extra Velcro piece! I give it 4 stars because the material for the foot bed could be less ridgid; maybe a softer material. This is the second best product for heel pain without purchasing one of those scooters that you kneel on. Thank you Vive!
