My plantar fasciitis disappeared many pounds ago. I was wearing more stylish shoes before I even noticed. In the meantime, I found the Brooks addiction walkers to be best for me. I wore them with a dr. Schools cushion insert. I wore them for years. They’re not much to look at but they made walking bearable for me. No kidding, A few times other woomen approached me to acknowledge our sisterhood of the ugly sneaker.

Are you doing your PF foot exercises before getting out of bed? Also, I found stretching my calves helped. Also, the elliptical machine was good overall, and my feet would hurt less after using it, although sometimes while I was on it my feet would go a little numb. Finally, my last tip is magnesium oil. Rub it in anywhere it hurts several times a day, but also rub it in on the back of your lower calf.

Good luck! I hope some of what worked for me can work for you.
