Nowhere in this publication is medical proof cited. Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a cobweb-like structure between the skin and fat of the body. This is compressed with every step we take, barefoot or not. Orthopedic shoes help to support that arch and to take away the downward pressure on the fascia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-91537968418379698932013-11-21T09:35:35.892-08:002013-11-21T09:35:35.892-08:00Try Aetrex insoles.

I mean kids that were like 10 would have it from wearing vans all of the times... they'd try the insoles and come back so happy....

You have to scan their website regularly as they sell out of the 'cute' shoes fast, but believe me, they feel amazing. The Springy Flat is my current daily shoe: http://www.crocs.com/crocs-springi-flat/11977,default,pd.html?cid=37K&cgid=women-footwear-flats. Also, for running or hiking shoes (I am finally able to run & backpack again) I use Sole insoles and have replaced all my others with these. I have no issues whatsoever when I use them in my non-dress shoes.

You definitely need to get used to having the arch support but once you do, it will hurt to NOT have it!

One week it was so bad, I had to stay home and hop around on crutches. I too felt like a prematurely old lady. Now I wear Danskos and Born shoes exclusively. Danskos are so comfortable and supportive. They feel better than my running shoes. The clogs look great with wide-legged trousers (I used to gag at the idea of clogs, but these are well-made and worth it). I recently bought <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XI9MWS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01" rel="nofollow"> these Dansko sandals</a> and am in love with them. They look better in person and feel like I'm walking on clouds made of chinchillas. Born shoes tend to be more stylish, but not quite as supportive. I bought <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Born-Womens-Belinda-Pipe-Rust/dp/B005I72Y68/ref=sr_1_8?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1343860115&sr=1-8&keywords=born" rel="nofollow"> these Born heels </a> and they feel like heaven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-14197192651408711902012-08-01T10:38:55.810-07:002012-08-01T10:38:55.810-07:00Read Born to Run.
