Had SEVERE plantar fascitis starting in late 2011. Someone told me to get the Dr Sholls inserts to support my arches...made it worse. So I spent tons of money for Podiatrist visits and finally the orthodics...which only made the pain even worse. I was in so much pain at the end of the day that I was reduced to sitting around if not at work or out cycling. Our adult daughter moved back home in early 2012 to save for her wedding. She noticed me wincing while walking from the couch to the potty. Her advice was LUDICROUS but I was now helpless and willing to try anything. In July of 2012, I bought some sock with toes in them and wore them constantly, replaced all of my shoes with flat, flat, totally heel-less shoes, AND...Every night, for a good three months, I would spend the evening with the little pedicure toes separators between my toes. By her wedding in late September, I was able to wear a pair of modest heels for the entire wedding and reception with absolutely no pain! Since then, I continue with the flat, flat, heel-less shoes and have had nary a hint of pain in either foot!
