This whole thread is pretty far off-topic I guess, but I want to clarify: What I am referring to is NOT Birkenstock shoes, but the blue inserts, you put them in your shoes, slippers, whatever, just like you would do with orthotics......they fixed me. And I have had several people tell me they had orthotics made that did not help them at all, and the birkenstock inserts did work. These people are all from my town, though different doctors, orthotics made different places, but maybe not properly made..... However, as long as I wear my inserts in everything, I'm fine. If I go around without them very much the fasciitis starts to return. paula ----- Original Message ----- From: nancy.estes
Same experience here. After an entire summer wearing Birkenstocks, had to go back to sandals with orthodics as my plantar fasciatis flared up.
