[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is op. Truly thanks everyone! I forgot to note that I actually went to a running store a few months ago and have a pair of Saucony Formfits (that's what the guy recommended). I don't love them but I only ran on the treadmill and didn't do laps or anything. Plus I'm not such an experienced runner to have a good point of shoe comparison. I'll go back to a running store and try a few more options but these suggestions are really helpful! [/quote]

What in particular are you looking for? Running a few miles doesn't really call for much shoe - - basically, something that fits and doesn't cause any pain. Most of the technology out there - high end foams, lightweight shoes, plates, etc. are really only for significant distance or speed work. They'd be a lot more shoe / money spent than you need.

NP.  If you have plantar fasciitis you need a supportive shoe and probably an insert.  Minimalist or even neutral shoes have not helped or even exacerbated my PF over the years.  You also need a wider toe box so your toes can adequately spread out as your foot strikes the ground.  Anything that crowds your toes or doesn't allow for full range of motion in your foot will tighten/tense your fascia.  And make sure you stretch your calves like crazy after every run![/quote]
