Plantar Fasciitis Causes and Symptoms

If you notice a stabbing or burning pain in your feet in the bottom near the heel, usually when you get up in the morning or after being off your feet a while, then you may just as well have Plantar Fasciitis.

This is especially true if you participate in running, dancing, or on your feet all day, particularly on hard surfaces.
The pain will increase after exercise and activity and is usually not felt when active on your feet.
Your plantar Fascia is in the shape of a bowstring connecting the toes to the heel bone at the bottom of your feet. This supports the arch of your foot and helps absorb shock when walking or running. Small tears and damage can occur if there is too much stress and tension on the bowstring, causing pain and inflammation.

People who are more at risk for this condition include;

• Age Groups -people between forty and sixty years of age are at greater risk of developing plantar fasciitis.
• Sports and Activity Groups – Individuals who run or participate in activities such as dancing and similar sports are also at greater risk.
• Occupations – Occupations requiring your to be on your feet all day, standing, or walking, especially on hard floor surfaces, may lead to plantar fasciitis.
• Overweight persons – If you suddenly gain more weight, the tension on the Plantar Fascia increases and can cause damage, leading to Plantar Fasciitis.
• Foot Mechanics – People who have low or flat arches or who have very high arches are two groups that may develop Plantar fasciitis because their arches do not provide the support necessary or distribute weight evenly.

Choosing Plantar Fasciitis Sandals

Now we get to choose the best plantar fasciitis sandal.

Here are a few tips that will also show you why the Oofos recovery sandal is such a great choice;

• Roomy Fit – If you have Plantar fasciitis because of flat feet or a low arch type, you may need a sandal that offers a wider and roomier fit.
• Arch Support – As the band of tissues that aid in arch support is damaged and inflamed, opting for sandals with a contoured footbed that provide some arch support is advised. You can also look for a sandal with a deeper heel cup that provides stability and support.
• Cushioning – Ensure that the sandal offers good cushioning and has a shock-absorbing midsole, as this helps reduce tension and impact the painful area and helps the Plantar Fascia to heal without any added stress.
• Rigid Sole – The sandal’s sole should only flex in the ball of the foot area. With Plantar Fasciitis, you will need stability and a more rigid sole design, particularly because of a flat or low arch type.

When choosing a sandal, consider features more accommodating to your specific arch type and needs. More cushioning, flexibility, and high arch support are generally required for persons with a high arch. You need stability and a more rigid sole with less cushioning for a low arch. Then there are also supination and overpronation issues that must be addressed first, as they impact the condition and its causes.
