We previously had the opportunity to review FitMyFoot insoles and were excited to also try out the FitMyFoot sandals. While the insoles are perfect for my boys who are either in work shoes or athletic shoes all day every day I am more of a sandal girl. I don’t own very many closed-toe shoes and living in South Florida flip-flops are a must. This is probably why I have a bad case of plantar fasciitis.
FitMyFoot Sandals for Plantar Fasciitis
I have battled with plantar fasciitis for over three years, in both feet at some point in time. I have a persistent case right now in my right foot that I just can’t seem to get rid of. To be truthful I can’t help but walk barefoot in the summer. Ever since I ordered my FitmyFoot Sandals I have been trying to nix the barefoot walking and make sure I always wear something to help support my feet.
Supportive sandal
At first, the FitMyFoot sandals felt a little weird not only because they are very flat but I had never worn a sandal with an arch. The first two weeks of wearing my FitMyFoot sandals I had little to no pain in my foot. I thought I had found the cure. Unfortunately, a day of walking the entire day even in a FitMyFoot sandal is still not the best course of action to cure plantar fasciitis. The real cure is rest, rest, and more rest, which is impossible to do unless you are bedridden.
Even though the FitMyFoot sandals didn’t cure my plantar fasciitis they are helping it a lot. I do find that the cushion and insole in my gym shoe is a better choice for my condition but my gym shoes don’t really go with my casual work attire. Thankfully we are not formal at work and I can get away with wearing my FitMyFoot sandals to work. I believe with constant exercise and wearing my FitMyFoot sandals or FitMyFoot insoles at all times I should be able to finally put this annoying condition to bed!
My only recommendation to FitMyFoot in regards to their sandals is more options. I was able to choose the strap and arch color of my sandal but the base of the sandal is always black. I would love to see a white, brown, and tan option. Black does not always match every outfit!
FitMyFoot Sandals Update 4/26/24
It has been 5 1/2 years since I have reviewed these sandals and I still wear them today. Since this post, I have cured my plantar fasciitis and continue to wear these to support my feet when running errands, outside by the pool, and even to work. They have also updated their options and given you the ability to interchange the straps. The base color now comes in black or espresso and the straps come in black, navy, plum, and brown. I plan on ordering a new pair due to the age of the ones I have and a couple of different straps so I can match them with more outfits.
