Any female teachers know of good shoes to wear with dress pants or is it just gym shoes?

I’ve had PF for over a year now. I’ve done just about everything, short of surgery. I’ve done to a podiatrist & spent hundreds on shoes & orthotics. I even go the New Balance shoe talked about in this this article. Everything worked for a little while in the beginning, but soon I was right back where I started. What has finally help significantly, was some good chiropractic care specializing in extremity manipulation & the new Z-Coil shoe. These shoes are design to absorb up to 50% of the shock from walking. I highly recommend these shoes. Check them out. http://www.zcoil.com

hi,
i am in a quandry about support shoes for pronation problems. my friend is what i would call a ’supinator’ or ‘under pronator’ as she lands and uses mainly the outside edge of her foot in her gait cycle. evident from outer edge wear on her shoes, and watching her foot strike to toeoff in motion.(which i would have suggested, required a highly cushioned and maybe neutral shoe) but i took her to be analysed on a running machine which picked up on her achillies not lining up straight with her heel strike in fact collapsing inwards. so, for someone that falls heavily on her outer foot and then the shift in position of the achillies towards a medial position, what shoe would be best for her?? i have to add too that she is suffering just now from plantar faciaitis, which unfortunately is putting her off running. we have got her some supportive trainers to start running properly as suggested from the treadmill analysis, but i want to be sure that the shoe definatly is the right corrective shoe for her or would a motion control shoe have been better? can any one help pleeeese. thanks, so much? Ginny

I cured my plantar faciitis with Merrells–first the MOCs in the fall, then the Encore Ice then the Encore Breeze in the summer. I never never go barefoot.

@Tricia

I too believe Dansko attributed to the PF…I just donated my 2 pairs that I spent over $200 for.

I also have CP , so I have the Rolls Royce for orthotics and night splints….my compliance has declined… I teach too and it is not easy or convenient to wear during the day….Ugh.

Need Update: Got a pair of the NB MR1123 and I am using the Pinnacle Orthotic inserts and so far this is working great. However, these shoes are not great to go to work. I was considering getting the New Balance Men’s MW977 you highly recommend but these shoes are no longer available. They have been replaced by the New Balance Men’s MW978 and the reviews for these shoes are poor. I took a look at some of the other shoes in your list and most look ugly… I guess I will have to spend $300 for Mephisto’s?

Anyone know what those sneakers were at the very end?

Here’s my take: give the New Balance shoes with their own inserts for a week or two. If you are still having pain, I would put in the Powerstep Pinnacle Orthotic Inserts. You can try swapping in the GTP Heel Seats, but I would not double stake the Powerstep + GTP in the same shoe.

Hope that helps and let us know how it goes.

I’ve been suffering from at least one heel spur and plantar fasciitis.Does anyone know when I should ice my foot and when to heat it or is it personal preference?

I recently developed PF after a trip, where I did lots of walking. After reading your excellent website, I ordered a pair of the New Balance MR1123 shoes, a set of the GTP Heel Seats (HS) and the Powerstep Pinnacle Orthotic Inserts. My question is should I use the NB MR1123 shoes with either the HS or the Pinnacle inserts, or should I use the NB 1123 shoes with its own inserts and use the HS and Pinnacle inserts with some of my other shoes? In other words is it an overkill to use the new NB shoes with either the HS or Pinnacle inserts?
