re: Shoes, lifting, and plantar fasciitis....

I tried about everything including a bunch of shoes and finally started using these ( PROTALUS ) in all my shoes - even lifting shoes for squats and deads. I quit walking around in Minimus shoes and other zero arch shoes. I tried HOKA and they sucked major arse. I finally went with Brooks Adrenaline and Beast for walking and eventually back to more intense forms of aneorbic activity once the PF stopped. Keep those inserts in and get some good running shoes to wear as your everyday shoes. Stay away from flip flops.
