Exactly what I was asking about, and you guys answered it perfectly. Such a great resource! Thanks again.

I'd say that I can 100% vouch for the extent of a toe spring putting problems further up the line. I used Asics Gliderides for three months and they pretty much gave me runners' knee. Just something to consider. I find Hokas fine so I went back to them along with Saucony shoes.

No shoe 👞 will fix Plantar Fasciitis, I went down this pathway. The one thing I did do with my foot was to experiment with different PF insoles, but avoid gels and very flexible ones as they need to be stiff to some degree and yet softly cupping the heel (not digging up into your heel). This helped a lot but without stretching and strengthening nothing works well all alone . It takes all these approaches working together , and easing into running very slowly is essential to prevent relapses

Have had PF since 2015. Was barefoot teaching yoga, working barefoot after, then took another job which required me to stand on cement floor. Stupidly, I wore Vans and after the first week of this new job/unsupportive footwear, it was “the straw that broke the camel’s back.” In the video, re: irritation levels after exercise: •Despite always having a literal constant pain, as if it is set into my body and I had to decide to accept that this would be chronic. It’s a constant state of varying degrees of “suck.” My feel might feel better after a bunch of rest- I avoid, to a great detriment to me, walking say- around the city. I cannot just simply hike for

Tips on 4-6 (preferably 4) mm drop trainers for not-quite-Haglunds-yet?

I agree with this advice. Consider separating the terms TOE-SPRING & ROCKER. For example, don't talk about the "toe spring at the bottom of a shoe", That is a ROCKER. Specifically the forward/forefoot component of the overall rocker. Keeping these two terms separate will make it easier for communication. TOE-SPRING = Angle/Curvature of the insole(at the toes). ROCKER = Geometry(Angle/Curvature) of the Outsole. TOE-TAPER / MID-SOLE TAPER is what allows the two above to be different. STACK HEIGHT is what allows room for TAPER.

Hummm....I started to feel something in the heel today...and I was using glideride 2.....tomorrow I have speed sessions...I dont know if I should use endorphing speed, pro or hoka mach 4...

Been dealing with PF. Got orthotics/ HOKA Clifton 8, stretching, etc. Very slow to improve. Any chance HOKAs may be making it worse due instability of high stack of foam?

Thanks for all these info, it is not an easy subject I think I have PF for months 5 -6. I´ve been running for years but its first time I had this. Tried to continue running, slowed my pace but it got worse, in the beggining when I woke up I couldnt put my feet on the floor. Since then I started doing some stretching and feet exercises (you mentioned 2 of them I did with the arc and with the toe). Now the pain on the arc is much better but I still have the pain below the heel. I stopped running only going to gym and sometimes doing elliptical and small running on treadmill (10 min) I am not a heel striker. Now my main problem is the "impact" and not the Stretch so the recommendation of the shift maybe is not ideal as it is a little firmer. Can you recommend another one (for when I return runs)? I suppose a smaller drop could help also? I am not sure. And yes I am not thinking of running before getting better, will keep doing my exercises, tried to run barefoot for 5K on the beach (soft sand) and it didnt work. Sorry for the huge comment and Thanks.

Hoka Bondi would probably be a reliable albeit boring option. I suppose you'd need a shoe with a big and soft midsole but poor flexibility in order to most effectively avoid new problems.

You should to try Saucony Triumph 19. It’s have enough cushioning and Responsive for avoid boring. It’s have Arch Support with Formfit Technology and wide platform for Stability. It’s work perfectly.

@@mandarinduckee I a little better now, but not forcing too much. I had a Triumph 18 and it was one of the worst shoes I had, big and heavy but I think the 19 have changed the midsole and probably went better and lighter. The Novablast 2 is not light but has a good cushion, good for long runs also.

Lol for that individual the answer is: don't walk 19-22 miles a day.
