After exhausting all the usual options (stretches, insoles, massage gun), I started wearing barefoot shoes. A few months ago I got an outdoorsy pair that have flexibility and a roomy toebox, but thicker grippier soles and more insulation.
The single point of pain just forward of the heel that's a classic PF symptom is largely gone.
I have achier feet at the end of the day as they're doing more work. But I think it's a win!
@marcamos they were Groundies Utah, they were on sale but don't seem to be in stock any more. I think lots of the barefoot brands do similar styles though!
@taijidude yeah I've got a pair of vivobarefoot Gobi shoes - they're nice but oddly despite me having even feet as far as I've ever known, I had problems with the right shoe being tighter, twice. I kept the second pair and occasionally put a stretcher in the right one.
The outdoorsy pair are Groundies Utah which I got on sale, and have been perfect for the winter months :)
