Is that first step out of bed the worst part of your day?
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the band of tissue that runs from your heel to your toes, the plantar fascia. It's sometimes called “jogger's heel,” though most people who get it aren't runners at all. It's just as common in retail workers, teachers, nurses and anyone else on their feet all day in shoes that aren't doing their arch any favors.
Repeated strain on the arch, especially in feet that are flat or overly flexible, pulls on the plantar fascia with every step. Standard shoe support isn't built to hold that tissue in the right position, so the inflammation quietly gets worse instead of healing, and the pain is often sharpest first thing in the morning when the tissue has tightened overnight.
Mayo Clinic notes that plantar fasciitis usually responds well to conservative treatment, including supportive arch inserts, without ever needing surgery.
We map the contours, arches and pressure points of both feet before recommending anything.
American-made arch supports, adjusted on the spot until the pressure spreads evenly.

The Original is our firmest, most corrective support, built to hold a dropped arch back into a proper position instead of just cushioning around the pain. It is the usual starting point we recommend for plantar fasciitis.
