re: geauxt's podiatry corner - plantar fasciitis (long, sorry)

Thoughtful thread.

I had a rough stretch at work for a few years. On my feet running around all the time in a suit w/ dress shoes. Sometimes at the office for 20+ hours or overnight into the next day. Plantar fasciitis set in as I wasn't getting adequate rest/sleep/time off my feet to recover.

I did a little research and went to a shoe store where I tried on a pair of those kind of goofy looking MBT shoes with the curved sole. I could tell the moment I put them on that they would help. I only wear them in the office where I don't particularly care that they look weird. But they helped immensely.

A few years later, I'm not 100% healed, but I only rarely get a flare up of pain in my heel if I have a couple or more straight days of long hours on my feet at work.
