[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wear Hokas, custom orthotics and never go barefoot. [/quote]

OP here — thank you for the suggestion. I know people love and swear by them, but I tried Hokas and absolutely hated them! Felt like my 80’s moon boots and were too narrow; I wear a wide in running shoes.[/quote]

PP here. I also have PF (even though I am not a runner), and my podiatrist told me to get them. They have many different models. I picked one, used the orthotics that my podiatrist had made for me, and it took about a week to wear in the Hokas. I also got the super ugly Hook flip flops/recovery shoes for when I am not wearing my sneakers. I never go barefoot, even in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.

I can literally feel my foot with the PF often fighting against the orthotic and shoe to flatten out (which would make my PF worse, that's the problem, I need insanely rigid arch support). and the Hokas and orthotic fight back and win every time. Everyone is different, but this is what I need. After a few weeks of being very strict with this regime the pain is gone. Nothing worked before (I even did those sonar treatments on my foot which were $$$$$). Maybe Hokas have a wider width. Otherwise I would go to a running store like Pacers, bring your orthotics (if you don't have any, that's your first step is to invest in your feet and get a podiatrist to scan your foot and get a set), tell them your issues, and try on what they recommend. The shoe is going to need to be rigid. That's the trade off.
