I am a runner and last year after a marathon I developed plantar fasciitus. Podiatrist said "no flip-flops, ever" as I had to only wear shoes with excellent arch support. I was devestated as flip flops/sandals is all I wear in the summer. A friend in our running club had the same problem the year before and recommended these. They are wonderful and after I bought the first pair, I ordered 2 more! You can walk all day in these and even run if need be without any pain or discomfort afterwards.

I've had lower back pain from a car accident..verified MRI results. Going to the Chiro--adjustments gearing to a tilted pelvis...along with pain shots at the location by Ortho Docs. Also had a hysterectomy 5 years ago so abdomen muscles weak/ hard to excerise with a bad back! When I came across this sandal at Dr. Weil's website, I took a chance. THE WAVE IS A MIRACLE! When I went back to the Chiro for a tuneup, he asked where I've been? I touted this sandal as THE Answer~ I wear it all the time! I also bought the tennis shoe Walker and plan to buy other enclosed shoes. I tried to buy the Wave at a recommended store but they had to"order". I got it quickly on the internet! Thanks AGAIN Dr. Weil for your recommendation. My pain level is from 10 to 2! I'm going to my OBGYN tomorrow and will recommend it.. as this shoe could help other women that had abdomen surgery and need lower back "support" to function!
