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. 🇬🇧

Today I went to a local shoe store and nothing under $120ish had enough arch support for me EXCEPT the Adidas Racer TR21. It was the only shoe that filled my arch and offered a lot of support. The aesthetic design wouldn’t be my first choice, but they are so comfortable. I’m glad I found them.

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.

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.

[@janetmoore5645]

Bob and Brad are very informative. I watch your videos all the time. Thanks for knowledgeable information.

[@mechkitten]

I get shoes with good support AND cushion. A nice arch support can help, a lot. Brooks in the $80+ range are my go tos, or hiking boots with metal shanks.

[@lanabrooks1554]

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.

[@mechkitten]

The military just got a contract with SAS to make their boots. I am so excited to see the new line-up. San Antonio is a big military town.

[@barbaramazzocca4605]

I love how SAS fits, but the heels of the shoes wear down very quickly. I have worn down the outside edge of the shoe in about 5 or 6 weeks. Too expensive for that.

[@3putt548]

Hoka’s contribute to your PF. To narrow a toe box. Heel has too much cushioning and toe area doesn’t have enough support. It arches upwards! You actually want a shoe that is flatter with less cushioning. A Podiatrist I go to recommends Altras.

[@livesoutdoors1708]

After five years with PF and tons of money in shoes I’ve found it’s not always the shoes but the proper inserts. And exercise, the stronger your feet get the better after healing.

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.

[@delvalle9256]

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

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!

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 think I did the best job I could getting rid of my plantars fasciitis. Of course it feels like you’re walking on a broken beer bottle. Thankfully I only had it in my right foot and not both feet or I’m pretty sure I would’ve died from the pain.😩 immediately I ordered some orthotics online -that of course didn’t arrive for weeks. In the interim, I spent as much time off my feet literally in my recliner pulling my toes back to stretch out the calves. And when I wasn’t stretching, I was rolling my right foot on a freezing cold can of seltzer. It shapes to your foot and feels great. What helped me the most was buying a pair of crocs & believe it or not using the Dr. Scholl’s kiosk at the local Walmart. The kiosk directed me to stand on it, and then it shows whatever it shows & I bought the suggested inserts -put them in my crocs & immediately felt relief. The pain was gone in 3-4 Wks. Now I have inserts in my Crocs… orthotics in my flats and gel heels in my walking shoes.

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.

[@coleenvandamme5349]

Superfeet insoles are amazing! More comfortable than my orthotics!

[@coleenvandamme5349]

I wear Hoka Bondi L. They don’t make them anymore so I will have to try another Bondi style.

[@user-js3ee5qv6g]

I was advised to wear blue Superfeet ( BBBeyond had cheapest price) by podiatrist, they made my PF even worse. I wear Bondi 8 but Podiatrist told me to get New Balance. I got a cortisone shot in heel just 5 weeks ago, am getting unbearable pain in different site now.

[@swn69]

Arch Molds inserts. That and 3 cortisone shots in each foot got me right again.

[@garypulliam3740]

I had plantar fasciitis and was told to go up one shoe size. It worked.

[@garypulliam3740]

@N F You know what happens when you assume, right? Nope. I've worn nine and a half since high school. Even in the Infantry the Army fitted me for 9.5 for my boots and 9.5 for my dress shoes. My 9.5 running shoes fit just fine for walking around, etc. And they were fitted by Fleet Feet trained employees. But when I would run, I'd have issues. I went to a 10 running shoe and my plantar fasciitis went away and never came back.

Thank you

I love my Hoka One One shoes. The Machs and the Bondi 6 are cushy and have neutral stability. I have flat feet but they supinate instead of pronating. My feet roll out and most running shoes are for pronators and they roll my feet out far too much. Also, being past 60, the fat pads are thinning and I need cushion. The shoes look sorta clunky but they're lightweight and the colors are great.

[@mechkitten]

I wear the all black Hoka's that miniminze the appearance of the tall stack height.

This moved the inflammation out of my husbands foot after using for 3 times, the pain had been bad for near a year. 2 - 5 gallon buckets, Epson Salt for the hot water ~ soak 3 munutes. Cold water in the other bucket ~ soak 1 minute. Repeat 4-7 times. The hot water does not need to be painful. The cold water add a few frozen water bottles to get cold. This flushes oxygen and nutrients while flushing inflammation. End on the warm water.

[@nandini1977]

Pls Google for Viparita Karni yoga and do it daily for 15 mins for 3 times a day (best) .. Brings down any kind of inflammation at the ankles or foot.. Selt testimony for this.. It works wonders 😊

Right when I think I've heard it all, you guys come out with another video.

[@Lyca31]

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'm an over pronator but I do well with a stability shoe (Asics).... I'm also a physical therapist.

[@stephanieasher4445]

I have PF, have high arches and have tried many different max cushioned shoes,. I’ve had two people at specialty shoe stores tell me I don’t need a stability shoes beaded on my arch and they say my arch has normal pronation. I went into another specialty store yesterday telling them I thought I needed a stability shoe but again they were like no you don’t. Got home with two pair of mid level cushioned neutral shoes that I wore for about 15 minutes around the house, and now have to return them. It’s very frustrating! Any advice? I’m waiting a few days to return them in hopes of getting a different salesperson. I know this place doesn’t carry Asics. Ugh.

[@ironman2326]

@@stephanieasher4445 Just now saw this, sorry. I wish I could help you out. Honestly I'd have to look at your feet and evaluate you to tell you which ones to buy. That being said, it would be best if you could meet with a PT or podiatrist rather than the store salesman to make sure you're getting what you need.

[@heyitsbroski]

Zero drop shoes fixed my PF. I've suffered PF since middle school and I was a skinny kid that was active in track, basketball and football. Weight wasn't an issue for me but my feet got worse over the years. Once I ditched my adidas boost, hard dress shoes with elevated heels my PF went away. My feet got sore because the muscles were finally working the way they are meant to work. Slowly my feet got stronger and my pain went away. Now I own multiple shoes from various companies and all are zero drop minimalist shoes. We are not meant to be on elevated shoes and having our toes smooshed together.

[@heathermcd12]

Michael Sanchez Agreed! Just got Altra Trail Lone Pines with Dr. Scholl’s PF inserts and walked my dogs 2 days in a row with no heel pain for the first time. The shoes hurt w/o the inserts but with them they are the first pair that I can walk with no pain in my heels. I walked miles 😄

[@slbarbieri1725]

I notice too that my PF feels better when I go shoeless. The moment I put on a shoe (especially on that elevates the toes) and my PF is acting up, I'm in agony

[@d.e.s4432]

same here . . . I wore orthotics for a while to calm down the worst of the pain, then switched to minimalist shoes and I haven't had a problem since. As a female it kind of sucks because minimalist shoes for women aren't terribly attractive/formal friendly, but I wear Lems and I love them.

[@shawnrocks29]

Michael Sanchez Which brand of shoes made your Plantar Fasciitis go away??

[@abbymelanson8821]

Love my zero drop altra torrins. Helps a lot

[@michelleseager9782]

Thank you so much for doing this! I went through all my shoes lol

[@Mattmanutube]

I very highly recommend the top of the line Nu Balance walking shoes with motion control. They keep changing the model numbers but for men the last pair I bought were 928’s.

[@mdmonowar7339]

Nice video content! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Taparton Walking Foot Takeover (google it)? It is a good one off guide for Getting Rid of Plantar Fasciitis without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my cousin at last got amazing results with it.

[@inosuke6544]

[@davidsebastianvegas3534]

hey ,if anyone else is searching for how to cure foot pain at home try Nevolly Pain Treater Nerd ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got great results with it.

[@EdwardBailey]

New Balance 1540 v3 is best

[@Fiorella203]

Edward Bailey best for flat foot?

[@steveperry1344]

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