Seriously, I wear Birkenstocks any time I can because I have Planktar Fashitis (pretty bad) and the support from them takes my pain away. They are the best!!!! I also have inserts for my shoes, but I don't wear shoes with shorts much... so if you see me in shorts... I'm in my Birkenstocks or a pair of sports sandals that also give me support. And if you see me in pants... I have inserts in my shoes. :-)
I get injections for it, but it always comes back. I did the splint... all that is left is surgery and I don't have the time for it right now.  |
You should avoid getting too many of those steroid shots. It's only temporary relief, and not a cure. I have plantar fascitis too. The pain was so excruciating that I opted for surgery about ten years ago.
I still wear orthotics in my shoes, but now I can live a normal life, including playing tennis on a regular basis.
The procedure I had was fairly new at the time. If you want more info about it, e-mail me. I was only down for about one week hard, and 100% recovery came in 3-4 weeks.
BTW, I think the Jedi warrior tourist dress code requires you to wear black argyle socks with your Birkenstocks...
