Why do my shoes make my plantar fasciitis worse?

that doesn't sound like pf, it sounds like your shoes are too tight

I am rotating between those same pairs of shoes and have had problems with plantar fasciitis as I increase milage as well. One thing that has helped me keep it from bothering me is using a golf ball and rolling out my arches 5-10 minutes a day. I feel like like the elite 8's put a lot of stress on the arch because of the lower drop, but I love the feel and fit of them. I would like to hear other people's ideas as well about how to handle it.

Let me know if you want to get rid of your PF quickly.

I don't even have to have my shoes tied before I start feeling the pain. the instant I put my shoes on my feet start hurting.

Using an insole with a rigid arch helped me. Shifted weight off of the more painful area of my PF.

I highly recommend Superfeet Green.

I dealt with PF for almost a year. I only got better from SERIOUSLY lowering my drop. went from a 10 down to 4 and eventually 0. Without typing a term paper on my experience I'll share the most helpful link online- do yourself a favor and read all 3 parts of the series.

Best of luck- and stretch like crazy. Roll your calves, Achilles and hamstrings like crazy.

is caused by shoes.

I would like to get rid of my PF quickly. Although it's been about 2 years now, so maybe it doesn't count as quickly.

If you can tell your shoes are contributing, then for gods' sake get different shoes. That should be obvious.

There are big, heavy, stiff running shoes for fat, slow people and tiny, light, bendy running shoes for light, fast people, and everything in between. Go to a store and try on all the shoes until you find something that's comfortable to run in, or at least the least uncomfortable.

If that doesn't fix it, get some physical therapy.

I went and tried on almost all Nike had today and Pegasus wansnt a comfortable choice at all. I have planter fasciitis , bursitis and raynauds in both my feet and can’t even stand up barefoot in the showers

The reason you are probably fine barefoot is because you have high arches or any of the other shoes you own don’t put any pressure on your planter fasciitis.

I didn’t even know I had arch pain until they did an ultra sound on it and now I constantly notice it.

Try Hoka Clifton they are pretty comfortable although you need good ankles yo wear these.

The Nike zoom Pegasus turbo 2 is an amazing , I have high arches and I also roll my feet outwards and could walk in them the second I put them on and my feet were already sore

If the second you slip a shoe on which aggravates your fascia take them off

Should also make sure you stretch out your lower body including your hips then stretch your feet you might find it doesn’t get as angry
