It took many months to figure out what was causing all my intense foot and leg pain and discomfort. I'm a stomach sleeper and finally realized I spent most of the night with toes pretty much pointed. I moved down in the bed so that my feet hang off creating the natural 90°ish angle. Pressing my feet against the footboard feels extra good. Great footwear is a must (Hoka has some terrific options) Thanks for sharing all your PT knowledge - improving quality of life with your tips!

[@pinschrunner]

I developed plantar fasciitis on my LEFT FOOT from a boot that the podiatrist sold me for metatarsal fractures on my RIGHT FOOT. The boot was so defective with actual bolts sticking through gouging the arch of my foot. It is so hard to do heel toe walking gait on the uninjured foot when you have any kind of lower limb injury or surgery on the other. Stretches, changing my shoes, stopped walking for exercise, and getting zero slope shoes with a 1" padding on bottom like they used to have solved mine. Ice, rest, and ultrasound as well. Those flimsy sneakers that are sold now with practically no soles on them are crating an epidemic of planters fasciitis. The sciatica stemming from my L4-L5 caused tightness in my hamstring, not so much my calf. Ongoing problem pre-existing due to a herniated disc but exacerbated by the uneven hips with the dreaded fracture boot

[@RichRich1955]

I was toe walking to strengthen my foot. Then I put some high arched insoles in my hike boots and used them for a bit. When I switched back to trail running shoes with factory insoles I noticed the plantar had weakened a bit because the high arch insoles supported and the foot weakened. High arch insoles were beneficial when I had pf and took strain off the plantar tear.

[@ColetteO_]

What high arch insoles did you get that you liked? Thanks

[@thesaladczar]

Exactly what I needed to see. Leave it to the dynamic duo to save my pain again!

[@dragonphoenix8]

I found the night splint and a prolonged calf stretch before taking my first step in the morning very helpful.

[@plantarelief]

YES! Using a night splint keeps the ankle in neutral and helps the plantar fascia passively stretch at night, making it easy to take our first steps in the morning!

[@pitbullwinkle]

With me, It's a sudden urge at night sometimes, And I gotta get to the potty. I'm a woman, so it takes more time to sit. Now, I'm trying to cut down on coffee and do some accupressure points for that. BUT these are very good tips. It's also a tight hip because I'm a side sleeper, on my back for too long and that sinus drainage gathers in my throat and I gotta turn. You guys have helped me numerous times over the years.

[@DineseBeckert]

I was anti-crocks till I decided to add a plantar fasciitis foot liner (walmart), it helped to fill in my arch, I have a very high arch and 3x E width. I suffered it so bad some 7 years ago-both feet gave out and my husband had to come to pick me up from work, my vehicle is a 5 speed and his vehicle is an automatic, I was able to drive that home. My ankles were swollen and my feet would not work. ER folks told me the swelling was due to the strain the feet were dealing with (my trying to walk on them) and they gave me some foot boots that I ended up throwing away. I have learned to stretch my shoes prior to using them, I buy a good pair around 4 months when I need to replace them. Having room for your toes is the most important aspect when avoiding plantar fasciitis. What I don't understand is why manufacturers have not ponied up to making wider shoes!! This is especially important in the food industry. As a busy chef on my feet all day, this is critical! I don't need a boot as I have a weighted blanket and I can put my feet into the boot position if needed. I also use a vibrational plate every day as I sit at my computer desk sketching, watching videos or making art videos...The plate does my ankles, feet, knees and all over as a good therapeutic option.🤗🤗

[@SouthCountyGal]

I have had plantar fasciitis intermittently for many years. Had an Achilles tendon repair two years ago after about a decade of micro tears in both Achilles. I suspect my calves and extra high arch (plus 40 extra pounds) are the root causes. My calves are my most developed muscles, probably doing the most work holding me up. I discovered Topo shoes after my large Achilles tear, and swear by them. Great wide toe box in all their shoes. I find the 3mm drop heel and medium to max cushioning are best for my issues.

[@ColetteO_]

Thank you for sharing. I will check out Topo. Never heard of them.

[@Tricia_JoElle]

Been wearing the same brand/ style shoes for over a decade. Loose and floppy. Found that the bottom of my foot got a lump and started hurting when I got an ingrown nail on the outside of my large toe. Must've changed the pressure points when I walk. I will get the toe separator! Looks like a great invention!

Mike, I’d love to hear more about your ankle injury and recovery. I’ve been struggling for 2+ years with no resolution to my plantar fascia issues, if that’s what it is. Help!

[@jpe1]

I used to walk with a “soft knee” as you described, but my boss thought that looked very effeminate and would yell at me to “stop prancing” and eventually I got in the habit of walking with a heel strike. Until I suffered a tear in the cartilage of my right patella, and in the process of rehabilitation for that my physical therapist got me walking with a soft knee again, which solved my problems with plantar fasciitis (and the knee doesn’t bother me any more, although the cartilage is still torn, changing my stride prevents further irritation).

[@BobandBrad]

We're sorry to hear that!

[@tonyah3488]

I feel like your boss was harassing and bullying! Sorry and I hope you have another boss who isn't homophobic and ableist!

[@jpe1]

@@tonyah3488 the irony is, he had been quite badly burned in an accident when he was in his early 20’s, and lost much of the muscle tissue in his left leg, so he walks with a pronounced limp. He’s not homophobic in that he has always been an advocate for me as a gay man, but he believes that for the business (I was a race car driver at the time) it’s important to not show weakness, and in his mind, effeminate traits will be interpreted by other teams as signs of weakness. But my point wasn’t so much to be ragging on my boss (or on the toxic masculinity of motorsport culture) but mostly to say that by changing my gait back to a “soft knee” my problems with a tear in my knee cartilage were managed. I thank you for your supportive words 😀

[@user-bv7mk8id5t]

By your description though he still sounded like a bully. I had plenty of bully bosses. One suffered some trauma as well and I felt bad for her when I found out, even after she called me a pos and eventually got me fired. But her trauma didn’t change the fact that she was a bully. I get you were trying to make a point about something else, but I get annoyed when it sounds like bosses are on power trips. He should have never said anything about your walk, unless you asked. It was inappropriate. Glad you fixed your cartilage tear. Best

I have watched and tried everything you have suggested for plantar fasciitis for 3 months. 90% of my discomfort is at that spot on the inside of my heel. I am 68 years old and have exclusively worn Altra shoes for years. Prior to my fasciitis I was walking/hiking 7½ miles a day. I am currently up to 4 miles but still not back to normal. I have used a night splint, fasciitis sock, K-tape, ice followed by heat, stretching, massaging, massage gun, different arch supports, rotating my Altra shoes and buying new ones after 300 miles. Changing my gait and walking at a slower pace is very difficult. After 3½ months I am getting discouraged. I use Ibuprofen sparingly. My BMI is around 22. You guys are always my go to people for all my old man aches and pains and have been a god send. What else can I do? I will continue to work on my gait. I am desperate PLEASE, can you help me. I have a world of faith in you folks.

[@hannahdeforest9148]

I did all of the same things you're describing and more, and my plantar fasciitis kept getting worse. The thing that has finally made the difference is starting to go barefoot as much as possible and wearing zero drop/barefoot/minimal shoes (like the ones they show in this video). Seriously, you HAVE TO TRY THIS. It only took four days before it started working for me. And I have been doing all of the things for almost 2 years!! Just FYI: The first several days of going barefoot and wearing the zero drop shoes were *really* painful. But whenever I felt pain, I just did wall stretches to stretch out those muscles that Brad showed with the black tape. By day 5, I started to see changes, and now, after 2 months, I am continuing to see improvements every day! I feel like I'm getting my life back!

@@susygibson5673 "Bumps on cross?" I'm not sure what you're referring to. Are you talking about something on the shoe, or the fact that you can feel a lot more under your feet? If it's the latter, then I would add that I don't wear minimal shoes for hiking, etc. The rocks under my feet are too painful. I wear hiking boots for that. Or maybe you were talking about something else entirely?

[@MrFalcon58199]

Kinda disappointed that you didn't include one of the most effective home treatments for PF from newer research: progressive loading exercises. Put a towel or something underneath the toes with the purpose of activating windlass mechanism and then do very slow and controlled heel/calf raise every other day. Slowly progress to doing it on only one leg and later with a backpack with weights in it. This is also known as the Rathleff protocol and is shown to be way more effective in a long term as compared to stretching plantar fascia or calf muscles. Another thing to note is that there is no magic bullet that will help all people and if these treatments fail over the course of many months or years, one should start with other treatments such as shockwave therapy and injections. Newer approach is to use PRP for plantar fasciitis instead of cortisone.

[@Rungolden1]

There's a difference between a wide toe box and a foot-shaped toe box. ALL New Balance shoes angle in from the ball of the foot to the tip of the shoe in a V shape like shown in this video. That causes bunions, etc. regardless of the width because they are widest at the ball of the foot instead of the toes. Only truly foot-shaped shoes work well, and will be able to be comfortably worn with Correct Toes inside.

One question: I switched zero drop & wide toe box shoes and I don't feel the need to put my 3/4 orthotic underneath for arch support as I did in more usual court shoes with a lifted heel. I am thinking it is less likely I am over-pronating in the position my foot is in with this new shoe, and secondly, that I am less likely to roll my ankle to the outside (the usual "sprained ankle" movement). Is that true? Thanks Bob & Brad & Mike. (ps. Make regular visits, Bob!!)

I went to the link provided Northwest Foot and Ankle and upon reading contributing factors causing PF were poor foot biomechanics yet later it appears they do not recommend orthotics . Why ?? If you do suffer from poor foot movement why would it not be beneficial to have a podiatrist help "fix" that problem with orthotics ? thats weird . Also along with not recommending foot orthotics was the comment of NOT wearing night splints which is bizarre as you have just given that technique a thumbs up . Also a large number of running shoe /trail shoe you-tube influencers which I follow also have stated repeatedly that wearing very low to zero foot drop shoes puts more stress on the achilles tendon and calf muscle - they always lean towards a shoe with a 6mm -8 mm drop difference , many leaning toward 8 mm plus .. I realize every persons preference is different however if you have tight foot tendons possibly attributed to tight calves then its reasonable to think your achilles , the connecting factor to both areas is under seize at the moment . WHY burden it more with a low to zero drop ? Wishing you all well gentlemen especially Bob : )

I have recently got over a 4 month period of plantar fasciitis,mainly through regular stretching & a night boot,however I have now developed a 2" lump under the ball of my foot which is painful, could this be plantar fibroma? How can I treat this? Many thanks from Sheffield UK

What about at work.

I have to wear a 12 E extra wide boot 👢 unable to use tennis shoes.with inserts.

I have a folder on my KZbin account, Plantar Fasciitis. It probably has fifty videos all promising to be the last video I will ever need to watch to cure my plantar fasciitis. So far none have worked.

I'm sooo confused. It seems everybody is blaming the footwear. i am barefoot all day, with maybe donning footwear with arch support insoles for several hours every couple of weeks. Does this mean i'm doomed to having to wear shoes all day ?

[@BobandBrad]

It's not ALL in the shoes, but they can definitely contribute to issues. Everyone's bodiese are different as well, so you aren't doomed persae, you just have a higher percentage rate statistically that you will have issues in the future.
