Podiatrists recommend shoes with arch support and reduced pressure on the inflamed tendon for those suffering from plantar fasciitis. Running shoes are often suggested, with motion control or stabilizing shoes for those with low arches, neutral shoes for those with average arches, and neutral or cushioned shoes for those with high arches. Brands such as Vionic, Asics, Saucony, Hoka, Oofos, Altra, Nike, New Balance, and Brooks offer options with orthotic-level support, stability, and comfort. Custom orthotics or inserts may also be necessary.

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain on the bottom of the foot, making it difficult to walk, run, and stand. Physical therapist Andy Wang recommends four stretches to help relieve the pain and increase mobility, including the plantar fascia stretch, dynamic lunge, gastrocnemius stretch, and soleus stretch. These stretches can help loosen up the inflamed area and provide much-needed blood flow to the plantar fascia. It's important to not push past the point of pain when doing these stretches and to seek medical attention if symptoms worsen.
