Just recently confirmed I have PF and the podiatrist recommended changing my footwear first before going down…

Around home I wear Oofos crock type shoes. Oofos are the best. I want to try the Oofos in a tennis type shoe (Stride I think) but haven’t yet. I like Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 for my current tennis shoe for every day walking. And also for around home Skechers Slip n Max Cushioning-with Arch Fit have done well for me. My podiatrist said to wear the Oofos all around the house and have near the shower to take as few of steps as possible on tile or hard wood without a shoe in. So I switch back and forth in the house between Oofos and my Skechers. Good luck

I think sketchers arch support gave be pf I have a high arch

I have it as a side effect of letrizole. It's crippling. Feels so bad like standing in nails or broken glass. First thing in the morning is worse and then eases off for a while and back again after too much etc. I have tried everything. Those big braces are good but I couldn't sleep with it . Useful in the day with a crutch. The best thing I have found it those sleeved with the bands. Arch supports but not foam bottom shoes. I think the flat earth shoes made it happen with zero support after a year this happened and it cost me a fortune. So I'm sticking with these sleeves day and night. some gentle foot stretches, also pressure socks underneath, there are nice comfy ones not the NHS ones. Massaging with balms help too. I also have a bunion but that's another problem.....Good luck on your journey.

Hoka’s shoes, crocs indoors and compression socks have aided healing a lot for meF10 socks

Vionic Tide flip flops are the only shoes that don’t hurt my feet. I have multiple pairs and wear them at work, at home, and on the go. They are the only shoe I wear during the summer. In winter I unfortunately have to wear winter boots, which sucks, but I wear the Vionics as my house shoes and also at work (I work in a house).

I wear Oofos around the house. I am stretching my foot and my calves. Im in PT and my therapist says my foot is much too tight and says shoes are too tight. So I’ve been buying shoes and sneakers that are a full size bigger and have noticed a difference. I found new balance sneakers ran small, I like the cushion on Hoka but I wear orthotics and they are too shallow with my orthotics in. So trying a lower profile orthotic. I’ve had surgery on my foot, accessory navicular removed and I had a torn tibial tendon, arch has collapsed. Best of luck !

Don’t stop being active! But stretch and strengthen your feet and calves.

I recommend avoiding high- impact activities until this gets better (so no running). I would also not walk without shoes on any hard surface since that will further irritate the issue. Oofos were a game changer for me, so I wear them wherever I can. For any sports activity, I recommend Brooks Ghost which have good support and a wider toebox. New Balance are a close second, and they come in wider widths (I use the extra wide size; they surprisingly don’t look wide at all but give you plenty of extra toe space). I would still replace any regular closed-shoe or sports-shoe insole with one specific for plantar fasciitis (those from Dr. Scholl are effective but inexpensive; you can get them anywhere, like pharmacies, Target, Walmart). Replace them about every six months if you use them a lot. Good luck! 😊

Brooks for activity. Kuru Moments around the house and casual outings. Super padded shoes like Hokas make your intrinsic foot muscles stop working because of all the cushion.

Hoka bondi 9.

Do you have high arches? If so, Xstance insoles will help. Bought a pair for my brother and husband when they had an acute case of PF. Helped immediately. They sre still wearing them. They are around $60 or so.

Get Birkenstocks for your hardwood floor. My pt recommended them because of the heel cup and it’s been a wonderful week. Still some pain but it’s relatively comfortable. Also try just getting some compression sleeves before you go buying exspensive shoes you may not need. They open up your blood vessels which will help with the pain and repair your foot. And see a physical therapist not a podiatrist. They don’t really help with Pf. I’ve seen five. No help at all

You have to switch to a shoe with much more support than the shoes you've been using. Get some advice from a very good sneaker store. Make sure that the owner or worker is a runner. GO EASY and you'll go far!!

Altra torin 8 are wide toe box, they feel great for walking Oofos in the house.

I’m a very active person as well, I feel you. I live in my Hokas, I use the orthotic insert instead of the hoka one, and I had to swap my dance shoes for them (small sacrifice to keep dancing, albeit with some discomfort at times.). Oofos instead of flip flops. Do my hokas look great with a “cute” outfit? Not my first choice by a long shot, but the pain and vanity are is worth my desire to take care of my feet and remain active. Best of luck!

I have had plantar fasciitis three times in my life. The only thing that works is to take off your shoes. Walk barefoot as much as you possibly can.

I would get some transitional shoes, like Altras. They are zero drop with a wide toe box. You can get extra wide

Kuru flip flops and kuru sneakers. I also have a pair of Birkenstocks. I tried Oofas for the house, but they had too much cushion so i wear my kurus in the house as well. I have also use Koprez sleeve and do stretching.

Buy oofos wear. Them everyday.

I wear Ghost 3 Brooks and a arch support sleeve compression ankle socks.

I'm in the uk. I've spent a ton of money on insoles. Insoles have been really uncomfortable to wear. But I brought steppers and they were delivered last Saturday and so far pain has been much better. I was very skeptical of them so just brought specific plantar fascitis insoles, but as I'm on my feet for work all day I just couldn't cope with the uncomfortable bit under my arch. The shoes I wear are from decathlon, Men's Fitness and Training Support and Stability Shoes Energy+ - Black - DOMYOS. I'm 231 lbs and have recently lost 28lbs to try and relieve the load my feet are carrying as I know this isn't helping. I ran a parkrun yesterday in them and they were fine but when I trod on big stones it was uncomfortable, so maybe a bit more cushioning needed for running

At home, I wear crocs with foam inserts. They slip on and off so easily. I wear them out to casual things, too, like shopping, taking my dog out, etc. I can’t put my feet on hard floors at all without support. New Balance were good for me. I need arch support. It’s good to get fit for walking or running shoes at a place where they measure your foot and watch your gait as you walk.and make recommendations . If there is nothing like that near you, any shoe store should be able help recommend. I went through a lot of trial and error trying to find the shoes that gave the right support. It’s so individual with brands and styles and feet all being so different. Once you try shoes on, you’ll know when you’ve found the right fit. It’s like a big ahhhh. There are videos on YouTube for taping your foot with sports tape. It seems strange but does give some people lots of support and pain relief. Just never putting my feet on hard floors without shoes brought me the most relief. Also foot and leg massage videos on YouTube for plantar fasciitis . There is so much trial and error at first. What works for one person might not work for another. These are the inserts I got for my crocs I also found these hip flexor stretches helpful. Good luck

Barefoot shoes. Wonderful and inexpensive.

Hoka Bondi!

Never go barefoot. My favorite shoe brands are Altra, Xero and Birkenstock

Oofos around the house. Shoes with good arch support outside. Some brands that have arch support (but check as it isn’t the whole range): Birkenstock, Reikers, Mosholu. Podiatrist was critical of the Skechers I had been wearing thinking they were good for me. Don’t go barefoot.

I wear ortho feet slippers around house, archie flip flops during summer

My advice is to always wear shoes, even in your house.

Altras. And barefoot shoes eg Zero both have options. Since changing to these and doing the exercises from Dr Angela I'm 95% better already

Do not walk barefoot in the house. I bought these and they help.
