Slippers for plantar fasciitis

[PeridotCricket]

Need something with support and preferably a sole so I can take the rubbish out in them....

Fitflop slippers and I see Birkenstock do slippers too. I have my eye on some hot pink ones.

I have had a few pairs of Fitflop ones and they are good. Very supportive.

I wear birkenstocks - with socks! - around the house. Or crocs are brilliant if fugly

Hello peridot. Cracking username,

Crocs not pretty, but comfy and hard wearing.

Birkies or crocs

Crocs (recommended by my podiatrist)

I have plantar fasciitis too. It’s so painful. I’m just getting an episode now. I also need to buy some indoor shoes for support. Sorry no advice but I’ll be looking out for recommendations on your thread!

Crocs

Orthoheel by vionic. Amazing wont wear anything else at all now.

My orthoticist said absolutely no to slippers and ascis trainers all the time. I thought I had plantar fasciitis, but in fact it was a collapsed arch.

Oh he basically said crocs were the work of the devil. My feet have been so much better since I started wearing ASICS and I haven't got the orthotic yet, I am mostly pain free.

Slippers aren't advisable for plantar. You need proper shoes or trainers with insoles.

Asics trainers hurt my foot so badly! Shame as they were expensive. They are all different so maybe he meant a particular style. Crocs were recommended by mine and they are super comfy but I onky wear them at home because fugly

@Miladymilord I was was warned ASICS would hurt initially as the grasp the foot and hold it in the correct position, but you have wear through that initial discomfort where the foot is held in the correct position.

Which style do you have? I have a cheapish pair (there are hundreds!)

Cheapish for asics I mean! They were about 70 iirc!!

After having PF for 2 years and trying everything, I got Skechers memory foam trainers and I wear them in the house and everywhere, as far as I can. They are more comfortable then slippers anyway, and the PF after only a month is down to just a minor twinge in the morning when I first get up.

I have been wearing Fitflop trainers for 2 years, comfy, but not a miracle worker unlike the Skechers. Also had the special insoles for slippers, Vionics and about 20 other different types of widget from Amazon. If only I'd used the Skechers first!

I agree with Orthaheel by vionics - they are designed by a podiatrist for exactly this!

I wear Moshulu boot slippers with a pair of Boots orthotics inside them. They are a pretty snug fit, rubber soled and don't move much on my feet. My podiatrist warned me to avoid Skechers and Crocs, I already had crocs and they really do aggravate it.

Do you wear the vionics insoles or the actual shoes

I must say since being religious about transferring insoles from shoe to shoe it has improved.

My big issue is wellies I have a horse and need waterproof boots but my (very expensive) wellies are seriously agonising even with insoles in. Desperately need to find an alternative before winter hits!!

Never heard of of an orthoticist?
My podiatrist understands that I can't wear supportive boots or trainers every waking hour.
Crocs give some support and cushioning.

I've got some trainers for this and for long sessions of standing is xmas dinner.

Totes slippers are good for the maintenance phase - maybe not good enough during an actual flare up. ASICS gel odyssey walking shoes are the dogs bollocks for PF.

Crocs here too - a pair at the door for popping to the bin etc and the indoor ones

M&S did a cosy ugg boot type slipper years ago with arch support. So comfortable but got very smelly very quickly and didn't wash well!

@PeridotCracker back at ya! Love Peridots.
