[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had terrible PF in one foot and I couldn't walk. I did everything but surgery including 5 sessions of electro therapy (I was desperate and my podiatrist agreed as a last resort, he didn't push it on me, and said 5 sessions was the max). I had the socks, the brace, the custom orthotics (I like those BTW).

Here is what ended up working for me and took about 1 month to see about 90% improvement. I bought hoka shoes (both the recovery shoe which is a super ugly flip flop and regular sneakers like this https://www.hoka.com/en/us/womens-everyday-running-shoes/gaviota-5/196565560629.html), wore the sneakers with my orthotics and NEVER went barefoot unless I was in the shower or sleeping in my bed. Otherwise (even if I had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night) I always wore my hokas. No cute flat sandals, not other shoes period.

My podiatrist had recommended this to me initially but I thought hokas were so ugly and I also love shoes so I didn't think being rigid about only wearing one kind of shoe would work. But it did. 4 years later and I am still following this protocol and I am painfree.

This is exactly what I did too. It’s the only thing that worked.[/quote]
