Let me introduce you to shoes that are good for plantar fasciitis!

Plantar fasciitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia in the sole of the foot, causing pain. This can make walking or standing difficult. To effectively manage plantar fasciitis, choosing the right footwear is very important. The following are methods for selecting good shoes for plantar fasciitis and recommended products.

 

1. Shoes with good cushioning

One of the most important factors for patients with plantar fasciitis is wearing shoes that provide good shock absorption. Choose shoes with sufficient cushioning to reduce impact on the heels and soles of the feet. For example, shoes with air cushions or gel cushions can be a good choice.

 

2. Shoes with excellent arch support

Plantar fasciitis can occur when the fascia supporting the arch of the foot is damaged. Therefore, it is important to choose shoes with good arch support that provide balanced support to the entire sole. Shoes with ortholite or memory foam insoles are good examples.

 

3. Use of custom insoles

Off-the-shelf shoes may not fit your feet perfectly. In this case, it is recommended to use custom insoles to adjust to your feet. Custom insoles that provide additional support to specific areas of the sole can be very helpful in alleviating plantar fasciitis symptoms.

 

4. Spacious width and comfortable fit

Choose shoes that have a roomy fit and allow free movement of the toes. Avoid shoes that are excessively tight, as they can put additional stress on the feet. Additionally, selecting shoes made from breathable materials can help reduce foot fatigue.
