Best shoes for plantar fasciitis

People who suffer from it know that choosing the best shoes for plantar fasciitis it is not a decision to be taken lightly. To lend you a hand in this task, from Newcop we want to present you with a small guide to help you choose correctly. Keep reading and we'll tell you all about it!

What should a shoe have to reduce plantar fascia pain?

The plantar fasciitis it is a fairly common condition that manifests with pain in the heel and in the arch of the foot due to inflammation in the area. The effect is most noticeable when walking, which is why it is necessary to protect the foot well.

Therefore, before buying your new sneakers, we recommend that you take these into account basic aspects that must meet:

Comfort: this is the most important. Above all, when you put them on, you have to feel good. Without this point, the rest doesn't hold up.

Cushioning in the heel area: good reinforcement in the back of the foot usually helps with the pain caused in that area due to pressure.

Wide structure: the worst thing a person suffering from plantar fasciitis can feel is a tight fit, so we recommend prioritizing those that give you space. But be careful, this does not mean they should be loose, but that they don't squeeze.

Stability: it is also important that the sole offers high-level traction to avoid slipping and poor support.

The most recommended models

Taking these considerations into account, we offer you a list of models which can be very suitable for people who have to deal with that kind of pain. 

Also, we have specifically selected these models thinking about the needs of many people who suffer from plantar fasciitis to use insoles, these models are ideal for that.

Tips for choosing if you have heel pain

Often, those who have to deal with plantar fasciitis complain of excess heel painIf that's your case, here are some tips that can help you with that part of the foot.

Look for models that are reinforced in that area, like the Gel line from Asics that we have mentioned.

Prioritize those sneakers that have good lateral stability and distribute the impact when walking.

Besides cushioning, a thick sole can help a lot in these cases.

Try to try on the model you choose at the end of the day, since it is the moment when the foot is most loaded and, therefore, you will know if they fulfill the function you are looking for.

Always purchase original products, since imitations can have the opposite effect and cause more pain.

And if you need to verify it, we invite you to visit our stores in Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, and Dubai, where you can try on all our models. Or if you prefer, purchase them through this website and in record time you will have them at your home.
