      gini007 replied to the thread Plantar fasciitis..
      I feel your pain!! I have been dealing with PF for a while and like everyone else do say the MDs/Physios know best - however there is a lot of conflicting information on how to treat even within the medical community - so definitely can be hard...

      If the prospect of the walk from the station into the centre of town is daunting then it might be an idea to rethink your plans to walk a Camino! :cool:

      I don’t think you are, nothing heated about the response? Especially as @VNwalking goes on to say Footwear, like backpack’s, poles, or even why we walk is such an individual thing. It appears that on Camino, just like on any long distance...

      If you have footwear that works when you are doing longer distances and back-to-back walks, I wouldn't necessarily change. What you could do is check how much free space you have in front of your toes. This is how I do that: wear the socks you...

      gini007 reacted to Joynz's post in the thread Shoes, shoes and more dreaded shoes..... with Thank you Thank you.
      I wore Altra Olympus 5s, with good arch support inserts (to help avoid plantar fasciitis). I was very very happy with them. I didn’t need to change shoes at night because they were just so comfortable. I took the advice on the Altra website...
