    Another vote here for Skechers - an orthopaedic consultant I saw recommends them highly too.

    You can also buy PF inserts for your shoes/boots/trainers which will help :)

    I like skechers but find Vionic inserts even better. Foot supported and very comfortable. My brother wears his underneath his skechers insoles.

    Having just been recently diagnosed with this im another who would go for Sketchers and proper insoles in everything else . My GP said to not walk barefoot either which is a pain because the first thing i do when i walk through the door is kick my shoes off !

    I got plantar fasciitis years ago, I was told by a physio to always wear shoes and slippers with a small heel and firm support. It worked a treat, I have never had it since.

    Fitflop trainers are incredibly comfortable.

    I have been wearing Skechers for work and Crocs around the house and they have helped.
