Are you one of the many individuals suffering from plantar fasciitis? If so, you are not alone and it is very treatable. 

Plantar fasciitis is an injury to the fascia connecting the heel bone to the toes, and it can significantly impact your daily life. 

However, here is the good news – proper footwear can make a world of difference in managing this condition. In this blog post, I’ll introduce you to some exceptional footwear options that have proven effective in providing support for individuals with plantar fasciitis.

Brooks Ghost: If you prefer a neutral running shoe, the Brooks Ghost is a solid choice. These shoes offer ample room for custom orthotics and provide superior support and cushioning. With a well-designed midsole, they absorb shocks and stabilise your feet, reducing strain on the plantar fascia. 

ASICS Gel Cumulus and Gel Nimbus: ASICS is well known for its Gel Cumulus and Gel Nimbus models, which excel in cushioning and support. These shoes incorporate gel cushioning technology to reduce pressure on the plantar fascia while also providing comfort. By choosing either of these options, you'll feel a noticeable reduction in discomfort and an improvement in overall foot stability. 

Vionic: If you want a higher-end brand that specialises in foot conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Vionic is a top choice. Their footwear and recovery sandals are designed to specifically target painful areas. They have excellent arch support, and in association with other treatments, can significantly reduce the discomfort from with plantar fasciitis.

Bekina: If you need protective footwear for demanding environments, Bekina lightweight wellies are not only comfortable but also fit orthotics. 

No Risk Armstrong: If work requires you to wear steel-toed boots, check out No Risk Armstrong. These boots are spacious enough to fit orthotics and provide the necessary safety features. 

Additionally, when it comes to recovery sandals, two brands stand out:

Oofos:  Known for exceptional cushioning and arch support, Oofos recovery sandals are specifically designed to provide relief for plantar fasciitis. Oofos sandals offer superior comfort and quicker recovery after long days or intense physical activities. 

HOKA: HOKA prioritise cushioning and stability. These sandals promote proper foot alignment while minimizing discomfort caused by plantar fasciitis. 

Remember, while these footwear options show promising results, it is necessary to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a podiatrist or orthopedic specialist, to identify your specific needs.
