Shoes for plantar fasciitis?

High arch Birkenstocks. Worth every penny! I used Band-Aid Friction Block with them at the parks.

I got some orthaheels to wear around the house and I bought this stuff:

It's awesome. I already feel a little better.

I've gone to a podiatrist and have orthotics.

Over the years, I've tried everything under the sun.

My best Disney trip came when I had purchased Skechers Premium Kudos.

They were very comfortable for the 3 months they lasted before they fell apart.

Other than that...I've found wearing Dr. Scholl's inserts WITH HEEL CUPS and healthy doses of advil has helped more than anything.

I bought some $100 New Balance shoes to wear with my orthotics. That works well, but they are a little too hard on my feet to use at Disney.

I suffered with PF for years--went to a podiatrist and my orthopedic practice, got the shots, bought custom made orthodics (sp) and bought 2 pairs of expensive shoes to put the orthodics in for a total of $600, wore a boot to bed for 2 years..and guess what?? Still in pain.

Ironically, I was home from work one day and turned on the TV to find a friend of mine on a local news show. She was talking about her PF and how she had gone to a physical therapist to help her. I called her immediately to get the PT's phone number...and the rest is history.

Turns out the problem was that my hips were off causing my feet not to strike the ground correctly causing the PF. This was 3 years ago and still no heel pain. Although I'm glad that the pain is gone, I wish I would have gotten the solution sooner!! I do only wear Keens to WDW, I have three pairs.

The cortisone shot worked for me although I would recommend having it done several weeks before your trip. I had it done only three days before a trip once and I was miserable! The shot is extremely painful and for several days after.
