Back in January I bought the most expensive inserts a local shoe store had. They are actually hard and are supposed to be the best arch support in the options they sold. They helped with foot pain for a while. But that was more of just an over all aching feet after working all day on hard floors and job sites. But then the pain came back and has gotten worse. In the last few days I finally pinpointed that it’s in the back part of the arch, just before the heel. And this appears to be plantar fasciitis. Some days when my feet hit the floor in the morning, I’m near the point of tears at first impact.
