Those of you who have plantar fasciitis.....

[Dontgiveamonkeys1350]

I have bought myself some hotter shoes. And they have been great. I would imagine it has to do with having a proper sole on the bottom. Cost an arm and a leg though. But worth every penny. My feet love me again.

What shoes do you have. And how have they helped. Not sure what to do about flip flops this year. Didn’t have them last year as my feet were at their worst. Not sure if they are something I could wear. But thinking hotter ones would be the best bet? But. They are expensive so want opinions first.

Birkenstocks.

My mum has the injections for this - but she also swears by sketchers; she's got the go walks - think they was about £25 from sports direct, she swears by them

I used to have these from Hotter which were ridiculously comfortable:

Fit flops might be worth a try if you want something more that style.

I have had sketchers in the past and they have not really helped.

Orthotics from boots are your friend, 25 quid well spent

@ssd. Do u have a link?

Birkenstock's all day everyday.

Boots for work and sandals for the rest.

I'll have a look for you

Bloody hell sorry that's so big

Birkenstocks for the summer
Fitflop slippers
Heel inserts from Amazon in my boots (Fly London), Converse, trainers and shoes the rest of the time

Thanks for the link!!!!

I was going to say Skechers but then I saw they don't work for you. I find Fit Flops good - all styles and they have a less bulky version of flip flop style this year. I also get on with Next Forever Comfort range for work shoes

Fitflops shoes, boots and sandals - all the way. The pain isnt there unless i go bare foot for a while and then I notice it slightly.

Birkenstock's cured mine last summer. I've not suffered again since then.

Scholl sport orthotics and HRT! Mine has disappeared

Fit Flop resolved my PF. I had it in both feet and could barely walk at its worse.

I live in Fit Flops now. Always go for the wobble board bottoms.

A bought some more the other day off their website. Currently 25% off i think.

Birkenstocks when it’s dry. Ankle boots when it’s wet.

Not all sketchers work for me, but the D’lites range has Been a dream

Hotter
Rieker

Some fly london help.

Another good tip is putting your feet straight into shoes as you get out of bed. When mine flairs up, I use a pair of fly london court shoes as slippers. Feet don't touch the floor unless snug in supportive shoes.

FitFlops worked for me when I had it - I had the flip flops, the boots, everything.

Proper orthotics. And wearing a removable cast boot when it was particularly bad, followed by decent walking boots.

The injections did nowt except hurt more, as they couldn't get every bit of damage whilst they were poking around in there.

I found the trick was to never go barefoot. We don’t wear shoes at home and my PF would be terrible all the time. I wear crocs as slippers and it has now cleared up. If you wear flip flops in the summer they do not have enough of a cushioned sole and you will probably be in pain after wearing them.

I had PF starting 15m ago that is almost gone now.
No special shoes. Flat as possible is best. Shoes with any heels make my PF worse.
Seems like doing Heel lift exercises is what quickly sorted my PF (after 10m with little improvement).
Which Hotter shoes are so special? Google images, they look like any other sort of shoes. Bit wide, I suppose.

The Sketchers Go Walk work for me - I’ve had PF years & these are the only shoes that have ever worked for me.

Birkenstock’s would have me in absolute agony. As would converse.

Boots used to do an amazing gel heel, but the new ones don’t work for me.

Flip flops are ok for me if they’re the fat squishy sort and regularly replaced, but I try to keep their use minimal.

Best of luck.
