I had plantar fasciitis too. Even had surgery on left foot, because the fasciitis was too far along. The only shoe that helped was the z-coil(cost more than $200). Was able to postpone surgery for more than a year.
BUT I would like to caution any one who buys them to also spend the extra money on heel covers(covers the coil part)was at that time more than $50. I loved my z-coils until I tripped on a wire/rope and shattered my upper left arm. Had 3 surgeries and more than a year of PT; still has less than 50% mobility, 2 1/2 years later. So buy those covers PLEASE.
I am not affiliated with z-coil; they just worked for me.
