NEED FOR SUPPORT!: Most shoes aren't that bad, usually it's the crummy insoles they come with! there are many possibe reasons (posterior tibial tendon dysfunction leaps to mind) that you may have pain in the feet, but try arch supports like spenco polysorb (http://www.Spenco.Com/products/footcare/poly-sorb) and otc anti-inflammatories (like aleve). If these don't help, see a podiatrist.

Treat the cause: The singular cause of pf is that your calves are too tight (usually silent), which creeps up on us as we age. Stretch your calves and your recurrent pf will go away. All the other treatments, such as orthotics, injections, rest, ice, night splints, immobilization, etc. Might make it feel better, but they do not address the cause. For a stretching protocol that works go to http://onestretch.Com.
