Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The first pair of shoes I purchased were awesome. The second pair were equally amazing. I was expecting no less when I purchased these. My expectations were they would be comfortable right out of the box like my first two pairs. Whew, was I wrong. Within minutes of walking in these the plantar fasciitis that was remedied by my original pair of these shoes was back. Then came the shooting pain in my legs. Thinking that these just needed a break in period, I wore them for a full ten hour shift at work. By the sixth hour I was in so much pain I had to switch back to my old second pair. It took 3 more days before the plantar fasciitis resolved and another few days for the pain in my legs to subside. So they've sat, unused until four days ago. I had some intense on-my-feet work to do and thought I'd give them one last try. Initially the result was the same. Plantar fasciitis flare but, the leg pain was only mild. I was about to give up on them until I noticed they began to finally break in. Now, they are just so so compared to my first two purchases. While I am thankful that they are finally workable, the amount of out of the box pain I suffered from these was unreasonable. Add to that the amount of physical labor I had to undertake just to make them ok just makes these shoes not worth the purchase. I wanted to give them a better review, but one star is more than generous considering how awful my experience with these have been.
