Plantar Fasciitis: causes, symptoms and how insoles can help treatment.
Plantar Fasciitis is incredibly common, and can be healed and avoided with the use of supportive insoles.
What is Plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most commonly experienced foot afflictions. The most common symptom is feet that hurt near the heel, or the where the arch meets the heel. The pain is often worse in the morning or when getting back on your feet after long periods of rest. It might ease up once you get moving initially, but then gradually worsen during the day.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. As many as 10% of adults experience plantar fasciitis and while it can have many causes, it's particularly common in older adults, runners and people who work long hours on their feet or carry heavy loads.
Plant a what now?
Like tonsillitis or appendicitis, plantar fasciitis gets its name from the affected area of the body: the plantar fascia ligament. It's a thick band of tissue that spans from your heel to your toes, supporting your foot's natural arch and carrying the load of your regular activity.
Repetitive strain and stress on this ligament without proper support can cause damage to the ligament, resulting in the painful condition that affects so many people.
SOLE's industry-leading arch support
Curing plantar fasciitis with insoles.
Plantar fasciitis treatment starts with having the right support to allow you plantar fascia to heal while preventing further injury. When you have proper arch support underfoot you give your feet the help they need to do their daily work. This lightens the load on the plantar fascia and allows it to recover from the damage caused by excessive strain.
While many people look for specific shoes for plantar fasciitis, you can add the arch support you need to any pair of shoes by wearing supportive orthopedic insoles. Having correct support will also help prevent the onset or recurrence of plantar fasciitis by avoiding excess strain and damage in the first place.

“I developed a nasty case of Plantar Fasciitis. I was hobbling around until a friend recommended SOLE footbeds to me. I found a store nearby and was walking pain-free in a few days and running in a couple of weeks. I have a pair for every shoe. I tried custom made insoles and they were clumsy and painful. SOLE insoles felt natural and got me running again." - Gorger L.
