I was battling a bad case of plantar fasciitis and needed a shoe that would give me support while I worked on strengthening my foot. I wear a barefoot shoe for strength, training and every day wear, but as I was training for a 40 mile ultramarathon, I needed more protection and cushion.
So, for six months, I logged many miles while wearing these shoes and my PF continuously improved. As of yesterday, I am proud to say that I completed my ultra with zero pain in my foot! Also, since I ran a trail ultra, I am proud to report that I have no sore toenails at all (even after going down some pretty steep hills), because my foot was so well secured and the shoe did not allow it to slide forward at all.
I am a woman, but I have a wide foot so I always order men’s shoes. The way that the MtC’s cradle my heel and mid foot, but allow my toes to spread and work, is exactly what I needed for my foot health journey. The P1’s saved me & I’m so glad I took the chance and ordered them!
