Plantar Fasciitis and slippers anyone?

[noarguments]

I have PF and it’s been going on a while. Podiatrist has given me some insoles which do seem to have helped a bit. However when I’m at home, which I am all the time and have been since March , I’m wearing slippers which my insoles don’t go into. Any recommendations for Cosy slippers (but not too old lady-ish ) with enough shape to fit an insole in, and maybe a tiny little bit of heel because completely flat shoes are a no/no.
Thank you in advance.

Oh this is really interesting. My dh has started with PF and doesn’t wear slippers. I wonder if wearing some in the house would help.

I wear these all the time (in my shoes and round the house with slippers or on bare feet) and my PF has pretty much gone since I got them.

The podiatrist specifically told me to avoid Skechers too and crocs were awful for mine. Both too soft.

innnnnnteresting, I wear Oofos at home but they are flipflops so I have cold toes a lot. Will check these recommendations out!

Don't walk round in bare feet if you have pf .

I wear bog-standard-bought-for-Christmas slippers with a birkenstock insole in. Happy feet.

Oofos are shoes especially made for plantar fasciitis sufferers and omg they have changed my life

@CaptainMyCaptain I’m terrible for being hard foot and should know better as had 3 flare ups of PF. Reading this with interest, I should get some suitable slippers I think

Bare feet not hard!!

My mum's podiatrist told her not to wear slippers at all, but to wear supportive shoes all the time in the house.

Yes! I bought a cheap pair of derby lace ups to wear in the house (since lockdown I was living barefoot and ended up aching from ankle to spine) and wear them for a few hours around the house. It worked a treat.

Hotter slippers are the only ones that I can wear. Not the most fashion forward, but there are some ok ones on their site.

Another nod to fitflop slippers here

I heard that Birkenstocks are great for this.

Sketchers absolutely saved me. I kept a "house" pair of slip on trainers for use indoors. I used gel insoles with a soft foam insole on top in my work boots but the only thing that really worked was to reduce the weight of them, so I ended up buying my own. My steel sole and toe cap boots weighed 1KG each and swapping to composite material has reduced to weight to 1.1KG for the pair. It was only doing this with the insoles that helped. I still use sketchers a lot and I am very careful about what I walk in now. I also still use gel insoles with arch support to prevent recurrence.

Another fitflop slippers fan

Aetrex and vionic both have cozy slippers designed for pf

Did your podiatrist show you how to tape your feet? It really worked for me.

Vionic slippers brilliant for plantar fasciitis- v expensive but worth it!

Another vote for skechers. The comfiest slippers I ever bought. Great for pf

I have the keepsake ice angel

Look at runners recovery shoes (oofos as mentioned upthread) or other high end running companies also make them, the ones I like are by Hoka OneOne. Long runs trash your arches so runners recovery shoes have massive arch support to allow the arches to rest. Some are flip flops, some are more like pumps. As with most running gear, you can often get last year's styles and colours half price online.

I wear Crocs, you can get some quite pretty ones now. They are the only shoes that help me. I've even bought some Chelsea Boot style this year as as soon as I use any other type if shoe the PF comes back.

Thanks for this info. I’ve ordered DH some vionic slippers to add to his Xmas pressies.
