I have plantar fascitis.can you which type of shoe is good.

Being a nurse I was on my feet 12+ hours a day. I felt like someone was beating my heel with a sledge hammer. After spending hundred of dollars on many different kinds of shoes, I found Vionics. Best relief for PF. It was instant! They have sneakers, heels, sandals, slippers and inserts only. All my shoes that are not Vionics brand have the inserts. No foot pain ever.

For years podiatrists, sports therapists, and doctors told me I was an over-pronator. PF on both feet for over years. I had the super-stiff shoes, ran in the super-rigids, had the injections (ouch!), and suffered something crazy. Then looked at my body, did the wet feet, paper bag test, and lo, I was an under-pronator. A combo of stretches and softer to normal shoes means I’ve been pain free for some years. I miss my rigid brogues - they looked and sounded smart in a suit, but they are just for occasional dress-ups now. I keep up the stretches advocated by these great guys and, yes, the wet feet/dry paper test is basic but other pros diagnosed without it. Great work, Bob and Brad, the wife and I are learning a lot. 🇬🇧

What amazes me is those of us that suffer from PF have so many things that adversely affects the condition or seem to improve it but no two of us are alike. My feet are flat and a higher firmer arch in a shoe does me best. Man, do I wish there was a one size fits all fix. PF has severely affected my life at times to the point of dreading those first steps out of bed. It tempers my whole day.

Thank you, your advise is been helping me with my problem

Since wearing New Balance Vaygo V2 my arch pain has gone! These shoes are firm, offer stability, have removable insoles and are affordable. I got them in wide because they felt comfortable, even though I have normal feet. And that's the most important thing. Go for shoes that are comfortable to you regardless of what a professional will tell you.

Thanks Doc Bob and Brad!

Really helpful video thank you, very useful to know what to look for!

These guys they really explain well.

I resolved my issue by wearing a 4E width sneaker. I have fibreglass orthotics inserted for arch support. Brooks Ghost 12 is my current shoe and is great.

I have had plantar fasciitis in both feet at one time or another, and I find SAS shoes (San Antonio Shoemakers) to be very comfortable and offer great arch support. When you go to one of their brick and mortar stores, they measure your feet just like they should. They also sell online and have wide widths.

Thanks dear for this video

Thanks! Needed education to begin some healing!

I have high arch and wear 4 E shoes so I am limited on a few brands .The right kind of shoe even without a fancy shoe insert is crucial to managing Plantar fasciitis without the need for podiatrist visit or fancy custom fit inserts . A year ago I was forced to switch to a different shoe model , but the same brand that I have always worn for about 6 years, because I thought the model i have always worn was phased out . Prior to that switch i am basically symptom free for maybe 10 years by using just the shoe that fits. Lo and behold, a few weeks after the switch my Plantar Fasciitis came back with a vengeance, to the point that I wanted to visit a podiatrist. Sought the advice of nurse friends and received recommendation for Hokas. While Hokas indeed have excellent cushioning, 4 E size 11.5 looks really huge and there is still a touch of discomfort on arch part although minimal on the 2 Hokas models I tried. So I had to return the Hokas and tried my luck on the New Balance that I always worn and to my surprise the model I always worn has always been available but has a new version. Ordered a new pair and just like that I am mostly pain-free and saved a whole lot of money . My point is there’s no cookie cutter solution to finding the perfect shoes that work for your feet 🦶 suffering from plantar fasciitis. And it’s hard work to find it . Also when you do have a flare up of pain.. don’t neglect icing or cold therapy to ease the flare up… exercises and stretching probably can help for some but in my experience, I got better relief with cold therapy. Easier to hunt for a shoe when your symptoms are lesser. With a flare up , almost all shoes will be uncomfortable… Sorry for the long post lol

Just bought a pair of San Antonio Shoes. (SAS). Most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. Glad I read the comments.

Agree it really helps.

Funny thing is that probably the shoes cause the problem instead of the foot itself. I came to this insight when I underwent a biomechanical screening. I was pronating severely when I was wearing shoes, as oppose to when I was running barefoot. When running barefoot I was in the normal range, meaning an acceptable angle between ankle (foot) and leg. This shows imo that shoe selection indeed is very important. Thank you, B&B!

I have very high arc and learned the fuss about plantar fasciitis when I wake up one morning limping into the bathroom. Tried inserts which seems to offer some relief at work and used ASICS high arch running shoes for casual wear. I came across the Merrill crosslander vent and tried it on and was pleasantly surprised with how comfortable they are to my feet. The high arch design of the shoes is rigid and provides good contact. Went on a holiday that involves a lot of city walking for 4 days and my feet never hurt.

There are a few things worth trying Test out a natural remedies for plantar foot. Something as simple as ginger root, which can be bought at your drug store, is a good anti-inflammatory. Ginger root is in the class of plants known as Cox inhibitors. This means they help inflammation naturally. Another natural remedy for pain is Bromelain. Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapples. If you drink the raw juice or eat raw pineapple, you can gt advantage from the properties of Bromelain. This is natural healing at its very best.

I found inserts from aetrex that work the best for me.

I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in 2014. In 2018, my chiropractor recommended these custom orthotics because I also have scoliosis and spondylolisthesis. They didn't even come up close to the top of my arch, the fitting part didn't even measure how high my arch was. My arches are so high that I often have trouble finding shoes that my foot will go in to. I wore the orthotics for a few months and the pain had worsened to the point that I was in agony. I'm just glad the orthotics were covered by health insurance. They were about $400. I would have been pretty upset if I was out that kind of cash for something that didn't help at all. I went back to wearing Birkenstocks, like I'd been doing for years. I wear them basically all the time. I also use insoles, for my non-sandal shoes, from a company called Superfeet. They have colour-coding, where green is for really high arches. They are a little pricey but worth every penny. My pain is basically gone now.

When I experienced this badly one thing that helped greatly was rigid plastic heel cups that you wear inside your shoes. The dont allow the sole of your foot to spread when you step down and it helps the inflammation. One other thing that actually helped is when I went keto. Takes the inflammation all away

If you wear orthotics, you take the lining out put the orthotic in and than try it. I wear New Balance walking shoes. VG

SL Barbieri well, Im no expert but i started having the problem after 2 months of lots of inclined running than usual, with lots of impact, so i think it’s overuse. Wish i had health insurance, I’d get it examined!

I tried podiatrists, chiropractors, massage therapy, but The Good Feet store fixed my issues. I like that it’s lifetime and you use whatever shoes you prefer.

guys, what about a decent shoe with a very good over the counter or custom orthotic insert, would that be the best?

I injured my foot badly as a child and it wasn't fixed properly. Fast forward years later I have osteoarthritis in my bone and plantar fasciitis. I'm in pain most of the time. Some days are worse than other days. A few years ago a doctor at my local hospital took plaster casts of my feet and had some insteps (or whatever you call them) made to put in my shoes. I was advised to wear them in a good pair of running shoes. Back then I was a single parent to a small child with no money so I bought a pair of Reeboks on credit from my catalogue on buy now and pay later. They were expensive but I was happy to have them. The next night I wore those shoes to work and I had to take them off to go in the water (I work as a swimming teacher and sometimes have to teach in the water) When I went to get changed I noticed my new shoes and insteps had been stolen and in their place was a pair of old worn out smelly shoes that were so disgusting I couldn't wear them. I just sat down and cried. I wasn't able to get new insteps made for me and six months later I got the bill for the shoes I never got to wear for longer than one night. I managed to get some insteps from Ebay and now I mainly have to tape up my foot almost permanently as things have got a lot worse over the years. I'm glad I can watch all these videos with tips, management, treatment etc.

I've had PF for years. When I find the perfect shoes I buy many pairs... also put extra cushions inside. One doctor also provided me with 3 inch wide elastic band that goes around the middle of my foot and holds the plantar up keeping it soft... that was a live saver!
