Footwear Recommendations for PsA and Plantar Fasciitis

[Turnedlight]

I’ve had it in the past in my right foot and I have it currently in my left. It took ages for the nhs to get around to a treatment that worked the first time - this time I’m going to ask for it - extra corporeal shockwave therapy I think it was though this was over ten years ago but the idea is it heats up and aggravates the area to stimulate healing and given it was available on the nhs, it’s not quack medicine the only trouble is getting them to do it.

As for shoes I have recently bought little black neoprene things which give you a bit of a gel pad under your heel, they do up with Velcro over the foot and are slim enough to go into most shoes. I have found them pretty good, and they are cheap - alternatively any squishy soft heeled shoe or trainer works.

Thank you so much, I've not heard about that treatment before.

If you wouldn't mind do you have the actual brand or name of the neoprene "wrap" so that I can look for something similar here?

Well I’m not sure about the brand because they came from a large well known online marketplace (trying not to break advertising rules here  )

Ah thanks, I shall get an oar and go paddling up the river. 

Yes that would be the right place!
