Men’s Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis
Are you looking for the best men’s shoes for Plantar Fasciitis? If you suffer with Plantar Fasciitis or any type of heel pain, even a simple walk to the shops or around the house can become irritable and painful. Plantar Fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain for men and is estimated to affect 1 in 10 men at some point in their life.
Plantar Fasciitis can affect anyone - runners, walkers, hikers, or anyone who stands on their feet for a living, such as teachers, healthcare workers, police officers or shop assistants. These occupations often require walking on hard surfaces, putting you at higher risk of Plantar Fasciitis. For people who spend a lot of time on their feet, it is especially important to wear comfortable shoes for Plantar Fasciitis.
Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue connecting your heel to the front of your foot. If you strain your plantar fascia, this can result in your feet often becoming weaker, inflamed and swollen, causing further damage and pain.
One of the best ways to prevent the worsening effect of Plantar Fasciitis is by investing in high quality shoes made for the condition.
The best shoes for Plantar Fasciitis need to provide support and absorb shock when walking or running.
This article aims to guide men who are looking for a stylish, yet comfortable shoe for Plantar Fasciitis which will alleviate pain. We will also provide some guidance on remedies for Plantar Fasciitis, as well as what to avoid.
What shoes should men with Plantar Fasciitis look for?
If you’re looking for the most comfortable, supportive and cushioned shoes for Plantar Fasciitis, you need to try Sole Bliss Men’s Miracle Trainers!
The Miracle Trainer features all the components of our proprietary Comfort Technology, including our anatomically contoured and ultra-cushioned footbed. This ingenious footbed has touchpoints which connect with every part of your foot, while providing luxuriously soft cushioning to alleviate the pain of Plantar Fasciitis.
The best type of shoes for men with Plantar Fasciitis have this kind of ultra-soft cushioning and foot support, along with a deeper heel cup and wider toe boxes.
Any type of style that features rocking motion technology in the sole will benefit anyone suffering with Plantar Fasciitis, as it allows the foot to naturally move, and contours to the shape of the shoe.
When choosing shoes for Plantar Fasciitis, this cushioning and support, together with shock absorbency, is crucial. A flexible sole is also important, as it will allow your feet to move naturally. A shoe that offers arch support and stability will also relieve the pain of Plantar Fasciitis.

What to avoid when buying shoes for Plantar Fasciitis?
We know that men with Plantar Fasciitis can feel a lot of discomfort and pain when wearing unsuitable shoes for Plantar Fasciitis, but our Men’s Miracle Trainers can help fix this!
The best shoes for Plantar Fasciitis offer more room in terms of width and depth, so that your feet do not feel restricted when wearing shoes all day. Shoes that are too small or restrict movement can increase pressure on the sole of your feet, which can aggravate Plantar Fasciitis, and other foot problems as well.
Any type of shoe that has minimal stability in the sole, no cushioning or shock absorbency can worsen the symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis, along with any shoes that raise the foot slightly can also increase pain, like heels or platform soles.
This is why we have created our Miracle Trainer style with 3 layers of cushioning, featuring our anatomically contoured footbed which relieves the pressure and pain that Plantar Fasciitis can cause.
It is also incredibly important to make sure you are wearing shoes that have not been worn down so much, as over time poor-quality shoes can decrease in support and comfort.
If you are looking for comfortable men’s shoes for Plantar Fasciitis, you should avoid wearing minimalist shoes. Minimalist shoes are designed to imitate the feeling of walking bare foot; however, they are not a good choice for shoe for men with Plantar Fasciitis. We would also recommend avoiding shoes which are too heavy as this can worsen the symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis.

Non-Medical Remedies for Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis can often create a great deal of foot pain so it is important to try all remedies to alleviate the discomfort. While our main recommendation is to wear comfortable shoes for Plantar Fasciitis, there are several other non-medical remedies to keep your Plantar Fasciitis at bay. These are some more common tricks to know!
To alleviate the pain of Plantar Fasciitis, you can try using ice packs wrapped in a towel or soaking your feet in ice water for 10 minutes a day. This can reduce the pain, swelling and inflammation of Plantar Fasciitis. Take care to ensure you never leave ice directly on your skin for longer than 5 minutes, as you do not want to get ice burns.
Along with supportive footwear, you may find that a foot compression sleeve will also benefit you, using them whilst in conjunction with the supportive shoes you have. They help reduce muscle, joint and tendon inflammation, and not only relieves the pain further when walking or running, but will also reduce swelling and improve circulation.
Another way to relieve tension and pain caused by Plantar Fasciitis, is to regularly stretch and exercise. Your calves, Achilles tendon, and the soles of your feet benefit from stretching exercises, as it loosens the muscles, which relieves pressure and tension that Plantar Fasciitis causes.
Preserving the arch in your foot is incredibly vital if you want to relieve pain from Plantar Fasciitis, and by exercising more regularly and stretching your muscles, will help build your arch back up and prevent any further pain you may be experiencing.
