Apr 30, 2021

What to Look For

The best shoes for plantar fasciitis sufferers have a combination of technical features to help ease pain and discomfort.

When looking for shoes, the following features are essential to consider for reducing the discomfort of plantar fasciitis. 

Quality Cushioning

Cushioning should be along the whole length of the foot.

EVA foam or BUNGEE cushioning both provide pronation control and cup the heel for added stability.

Arch Support

Arch support is one of the main features people look for in shoes for plantar fasciitis.

Shaped like orthotics, arch support insoles secure the foot in place for optimal alignment and support. 

Elevated Heel

An elevated heel along the footbed from heel to toe reduces pressure on the Achilles and alleviates some pain felt by those who suffer from Plantar Fasciitis.

This feature is designed through the innersole and internal structure of the shoe. 

Firm Heel Counter

Look for a firm heel counter found in the ExoFrame stability feature.

This under-foot design is shaped to your foot and ensures the heel and ankle remain in the correct positioning from the first strike off when walking.
