Comfy, supportive but cool trainers for plantar fasciitis? Recommendations please!

I want the cool trainers of my youth - adidas gazelles or maybe some gola or puma ones? But I am also a grown up and know I need them to work with my dodgy feet. I get plantar fasciitis if my shoes aren't supportive enough.

Can anyone recommend some cool (or as cool as you get at 35) trainers please! :)

Converse are too flat, and with my short legs start to verge into clown shoe territory as they're so narrow. Blush

I have plantar fasciitis and I got these www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01NAAS8HC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=mumsnetforum-21 they look even nicer in real life - however I would add they are not lightweight, more chunky/heavy type trainers, if that bothers you. But I find them supportive and easy.

Another vote for Asics. Sorted mine out. Teva sandals too. Long term did exercises with a franklin ball under the arch (rolling it forward and back under the arch then standing on it - one foot at a time)

Depends on which style you get Leedy. I tend wear cobras which are supportive whilst squishy (and have quite a wide toe box). Overall they work out fine for me. I've had tornados too, which had a more pronounced arch, but the sole was a bit stiff for me, but I think they would be great if arch support was your main concern.
