Wearing: Night foot splints that keep the toes in a bent position. Plantar fasciitis is a chronic stretch injury and the last thing it wants is to be stretched even more.

Plantar fascitis: Most common cause of heel pain is from plantar fasciitis, a pull/sprain of the plantar fascia from where it attaches to the heel bone on the btm of the foot. Txs include rigid arch support to decrease the pull of the fascia, combined with antiinflammatory medication (oral and/or injectable) to reduce the inflammation. Non weight bearing activity while recovering.
