Fashionable Shoes For Plantar Fasciitis Sufferers
While I was healing my Plantar Fasciitis, I wrote a post about what was helping me get relief as well as helping my foot to heal. In the comment section of that post, many readers also suffering from Plantar Fasciitis started listing brands of shoes that have helped them walk more comfortably. Shoes that are fashionable!
The list keeps growing and I thought it might be handy to list the suggestions in a post of its own. These shoes are not your typical ultra-conservative support shoe. These shoes have support and style!
Please note: I am not a medical practitioner; my advice is not medical help. Also, note that besides the Birkenstocks listed below, I have not personally tried any of these brands of shoes–although I do know that they have been helpful to others.
I am currently not suffering from Plantar Fasciitis, but I know it is still important that I wear good, supportive shoes wherever I go, whether just to the store or on a hike, to keep it from coming back. I do now walk barefoot in my home as I have heard that helps strengthen the muscles in the foot, but if I am standing for long periods of time while in the house, such as when I am cooking I go and grab a pair of supportive shoes.

I love Birkenstocks! My mom bought me a pair in high school when I was experiencing some foot pain (can’t remember what type) and I was hooked.
