HI, I got better when I switched to a shoe that bent over just under the toes and had padding under the heel.. There's a lot of info on this on heelspurs.com. It was the only thing that worked for me and I felt it healing for me over a week after months.. The best shoes I found were ECCO shoes. And not all of their shoes either so do try a selection on first. It allows the fascia to stretch properly and is very padded. A life saver really in terms of having mobility back. Good luck!

I had Planter Faciitis for over a year and found walking to be extremely painful. My doctor told me that I may need surgery and the thought of that made me cringe. As luck would have it, I moved and began seeing a new doctor. I asked him what he would suggest and he pointed at my sandals and told me that his first piece of advise would be to get rid of them. He said to get myself a good pair of supportive shoes and wear them all the time, both indoors and out. I bought a new pair of good runners for outside and a pair just for inside. It felt funny wearing shoes in the house, but I kept it up and within two weeks the pain had lessened and within a month it was completely gone! Who knew that the cure would be so easy? Obviously not my first doctor.
