Lifestyle
Supportive Footwear and Orthotics
for Plantar Fasciitis
Wearing supportive shoes with good arch support and cushioning, supplemented by over-the-counter or custom orthotics (insoles).
How it works
Orthotics redistribute pressure away from the plantar fascia, reducing the mechanical load during walking and allowing inflamed tissue to heal.
What to watch for
Avoid walking barefoot, especially on hard floors. Replace worn footwear. Over-the-counter orthotics are effective for most people — custom orthotics show similar outcomes in trials.
