Yes, shoes can trigger or exacerbate plantar fasciitis. Wearing a walking shoe, or a running shoe lacks proper support can put extra pressure on the plantar fascia and that can cause or worsen plantar fasciitis.
High heels put a lot of stress on your feet, including the plantar fascia.
Running or walking shoes with no cushioning don't absorb impacts on the feet and exacerbate plantar fasciitis symptoms.
Worn-out shoes tend to lack proper support and cushioning.
Shoes with a narrow toe box squeeze your toes together, pressuring the ball-of-foot.
Flat shoes that don't offer any arch support, such as flip-flops or ballet flats. Instead opt for our orthpedic arch support shoes.
Tight shoes compress and put pressure on your feet.
Yes, arch support lifts up, supports and stabilizes the arch of the foot, reducing plantar fascia pain and inflammation.
It’s important to find a supportive shoe or sandal with built-in arch support that help control over-pronation, and consequently work to alleviate the strain on the plantar fascia and the foot pain associated with it. When you need to use special insoles or custom orthotics for plantar fasciitis you should look for shoes that come with removable insoles, such as Orthofeet shoes, which feature removable insoles with built-in arch support in all their shoes, including our plantar fasciitis dress shoes
