“I developed chronic plantar fasciitis in both feet while pregnant with my first baby.  For 2 years I tried podiatrists, orthotics, pain killers, anti-inflamitories, ultrasound and massage.  I couldn’t be on my feet for more than an hour a day and couldn’t sleep from the pain in my feet at night.  I was totally miserable and trying to cope with my baby.  I bought a pair of MBT Shoes 4 weeks ago and think they are a miracle shoe!!  Each day I can walk a little longer and today went for a small jog!!  Thank god for MBTs.”
