A member asked:

Whats the best shoe or in sole for plantar fascitis. its the arches that get sore, hard to walk in morning. from standing at work. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Support: You need a shoe that has good midsole and rear heel support. There are too many shoes out there these days that are too soft/flexible. This causes the fascia to be under repetitive strain. Orthotics (insoles) can be of benefit. See your local doctor to be evaluated.
