The right pair of shoes can help ease and prevent plantar fasciitis-related pain. (Orthofeet, Vionic)
If you're one of millions of people who have woken up and felt a sharp, stabbing pain in your heel as you take those first groggy steps out of bed, you might be familiar with plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis pain can make your days much more challenging, affecting your ability to walk, run or even stand comfortably. Fortunately, the best shoes for plantar fasciitis can make all the difference.
So, what exactly is this condition? "Plantar fasciitis is characterized by inflammation and irritation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes," says Dr. Suzanne Fuchs, a podiatrist. Think of the plantar fascia as your foot's shock absorber — it bears the brunt of every step, stride or jump you take. But when that tissue becomes overworked or strained, it can develop tiny tears, leading to pain, stiffness and inflammation. Cue the dreaded heel pain that seems to strike when you least expect it.
But here's the surprising twist: Plantar fasciitis isn't picky. It doesn't just target athletes or people who spend hours on their feet — though they're certainly at risk. It can strike anyone, from busy parents and weekend warriors to office workers. Your feet are complex systems with 26 bones, 33 joints and over 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments working together to keep you upright. Those hard-working components can't perform their best without appropriate support.
The good news? Relief is closer than you think. The key to managing and preventing plantar fasciitis is understanding what your feet truly need. Shoes with the correct footbed, generous cushioning and shock absorption are essential. By distributing weight evenly, reducing strain on the plantar fascia and absorbing impact, the best shoes for plantar fasciitis are nothing short of a lifesaver for your feet.
If you're tired of living with heel pain or you're ready to take proactive steps to protect your feet, you're in the right place. In this guide, we'll explore the best shoes for plantar fasciitis for women and men, including outstanding sneakers for plantar fasciitis and chic sandals for plantar fasciitis — because you deserve comfort that doesn't come at the cost of style. If you're ready to stop foot pain in its tracks and get back to living pain-free, read on.
Update, Aug. 28, 2025: We checked all product prices and availability. Our No. 1 picks for the best shoes for plantar fasciitis remain unchanged.
Men's/Women's/Unisex: Men's | Sizing: 7-14 including half sizes | Widths: Medium D), wide (2E), extra-wide (4E) | Colors: 5 | Heel drop: Unlisted
Orthofeet shoes are specifically designed to help prevent and relieve foot pain from common conditions like plantar fasciitis. Each pair of shoes comes with its own removable and customizable orthotic insole so you can make adjustments to the level of support and cushioning you receive.
The optional arch booster can be added under the insole to help support the arch and ease strain on the fascia, while the sole's rocker bottom and air pockets help reduce shock and facilitate more efficient walking.
During our testing, the Yari Hands-Free was the clear winner for this category. In addition to helping reduce irritation on the plantar fascia and provide support during walking, our tester (a big guy with size 14 shoes) noted that the hands-free design was helpful, as he has arthritis in his fingers and on days when it flares, he can still get these shoes on and off easily.
Our tester also goes for long daily walks and spends a lot of time on his feet, and he found that these were the shoes he would turn to on a daily basis to help him get through his days. He particularly liked the deep heel cup and wide toe box, as he found these features seemed to be most helpful in making sure he got the right fit and support necessary to alleviate his plantar fasciitis symptoms.
"When you keep turning to the same pair of shoes every day because they just make your feet feel better, you know you've got a winner," he said.

If you're on your feet a lot and need a supportive sneaker to take you through the day without sidelining you with pain, the Vionic Walk Max Lace Up Sneaker is a great choice.
Vionic tests all of its footwear with Heeluxe — a patented technology that analyzes shoe performance in conditions that mimic real-world situations — and according to the brand, this has helped its Walk Max sneakers deliver superior arch support and exceptional stability and cushioning for all-day use. The shoes also received the APMA Seal of Acceptance for promoting foot health.
Our tester was also impressed with these shoes, saying, "They're lightweight and offer a nice, cushiony support right where I need it. While my plantar fasciitis pain wasn't 'cured' by wearing these shoes, it was definitely alleviated."
She also appreciates the water-repellent upper as she often takes walks outside — "I don't have to worry about rain seeping in or gross, wet socks." And the wide variety of style options is nice too — you can choose between a range of neutral color options, or you can opt for something a bit more retro or bright.
Men's/Women's/Unisex: Women's | Sizing: 6-11 including half sizes | Widths: Medium (B) and wide (D) | Colors: 4 | Heel drop: Unlisted
There are lots of comfortable boots on the market, but not all of them are appropriate for work meetings or a night out with friends. These Emma boots from Orthofeet offer a nice combination of style and comfort that makes them the perfect option to throw on to get you through the day when plantar fasciitis is wreaking havoc on your feet.
The first time our tester put these on, she said, "Wow. These are really comfortable." They have a padded interior without seams or overlays that could cause rubbing or irritation. The toebox is wide (no pinching!) and the zipper closure makes them easy to get on and off. While some reviewers said that the leather upper takes some time to break in, our tester didn't have this problem, stating, "the boots are nice and flexible, allowing my ankle to move without constriction."
Like other Orthofeet shoes, the Emma comes with its own orthotic insole and arch booster so you can customize the fit to your needs. Our tester has high arches but doesn't need extra arch support, so she didn't add the booster, but she did add one of the fitting spacers that you can place under the insole for a more personalized fit. "With all the custom-fitting options, you're going to be able to find the right level of fit and comfort for your needs," she says.
Our tester has size 11 feet, so she was able to enjoy these boots, but she noted that she knows a lot of women with larger feet than hers, so she wished it were available in an even larger range of sizes, like many of the other Orthofeet models. She also notes that the leather isn't very breathable.
Finally, most experts suggest wearing no more than a 1.5-inch heel when managing plantar fasciitis — the Emma features a 2-inch heel. Our tester didn't note any issues with the additional height and felt that they were quite supportive and helpful for her pain, but it's something to be aware of. If the heel height seems to add pressure to your fascia, you may want to consider returning the Emma (there's a 60-day trial guarantee) and trying something without a heel, like the Orthofeet Blaire Hands Free.
Men's/Women's/Unisex: Women's and men's | Sizing: 4-12.5 (women) 6-17.5 (men) | Widths: Regular/wide and medium/narrow | Colors: 5 | Heel drop: Unlisted
When you think of Birkenstock, you likely think of its classic sandals, but the brand has an array of shoe styles, all of which are designed to support foot mechanics and improve gait. The Birkenstock Bend Low is no different, and it makes a great option for those who need a casual, comfortable shoe for daily wear. The firm base, deep heel cup and arch support are all intended to allow the foot to move as intended but without excessive cushioning.
Our tester wasn't sure he loved these the first time he put them on, but after a few weeks of wear, they became his favorite non-sneaker shoes. This is largely because the cork-latex footbed shaped to his foot with more wear, creating a custom fit that was hard to beat. The laces also give the flexibility to create the fit needed on a day-to-day basis, as he found that some days it felt better for his shoes to be a little looser, while other days he wanted a closer fit.
"While I loved the style of these shoes right out of the box, I wasn't sure I'd love their performance the first time I put them on," he says. But as I wore them, they became more and more comfortable, and I really noticed a difference in my plantar fasciitis pain. Now they're the pair I grab whenever I have to run errands or I'm heading out for something casual with friends."
Sizing: Women's 5–12 / men's 7–15 | Colors: 29 options | Weight: 9.1 ounces | Additional features for arthritic feet: Plush upper, wide sizing options
The Brooks Glycerin 20 sneakers have a wide platform and plush feel, making them our top choice for best running shoe. These sneakers offer a secure fit to hold your foot in place without crowding you out. There's also a soft lining and insole for extra cushioning as you run. It's also hard to ignore the fact that the shoe has earned the APMA's Seal of Acceptance, so you know it's podiatrist-approved for promoting good foot health.
A cushioned tongue and collar provide extra padding all around to support your feet on any given run. These sneakers come in a huge range of neutral and standout color options and are available in regular, narrow and wide sizes. They also get high marks for comfort. "They’re perfectly supportive, yet padded and very durable," shared one fan.
Men's/Women's/Unisex: Women's and men's | Sizing: 5-12 (women) 7-15 (men) including half sizes | Widths: Medium | # colors: 17 (women) 14 (men) | Heel drop: 10 mm
A nice, cushioned sole is a great way to support a nice, long walk. The Saucony Triumph 22 (available in men's and women's versions) are designed for running, but we preferred them for walking in our testing.
They offer moderate support and high cushioning in the form of the brand's "PWRRUN PB" foam that helps reduce impact and offers "energy return" with each step — making it a little easier to rack up those miles. The slightly wider midfoot and adaptive lacing system makes it possible to get the most comfortable fit for long wear.
Our tester, who mixes up her running and walking days, found herself turning to these shoes whenever she was going on a walk, opting for a slightly less cushioned shoe on her run days. She found that the added cushion and comfortable heel were ideal for supporting her stride, and even after exceptionally long walks (up to 10 miles), her feet didn't ache the way they often do with other shoes. While she's not currently dealing with plantar fasciitis, it's been a recurrent problem in the past; with these sneakers, however, she wasn't worried about having it flare up.
"I'm actually surprised I like the extra cushioning so much, but it really does seem to make walking easier with little to no pain. I tend to opt for less cushioned shoes, but these Saucony's may have made me a convert, at least when it comes to walking," she says.

On days when you're just kicking back and taking it easy, it's still important to wear shoes that will help prevent or reduce plantar fasciitis pain. Instead of going barefoot or opting for a slip-on with little to no support, these slides from OOfos are the ideal choice.
In addition to carrying the APMA seal of acceptance for supporting foot health, the patented OOfoam technology absorbs 37% more impact than standard footwear, helping reduce the likelihood of pain while reducing stress on the joints. Another big benefit? The closed-cell foam is safe to throw in the washing machine, so you never have to worry about dirty or stinky shoes.
"Oooo," said our tester, "Now I understand why they're called 'OOfos' — you automatically say 'ooooo' the first time you put them on." The cushioned slides are the kind of shoes you won't want to take off, and because of their added arch support, they're even appropriate for use during errands or when. You have to stay on your feet for long hours. The brand also offers a range of styles, so you can choose recovery slippers, sneakers or flip flops if you don't like the look of the slides.
While these slides are more expensive than a lot of other sandals, you can try them risk-free for 30 days, giving you peace of mind if you end up not liking them.
Men's/Women's/Unisex: Women's and men's | Sizing: 6-11 (women) 7-13 (men) including half sizes| Widths: Medium | Colors: 2 (women) 2 (men) | Heel drop: 9 mm
When your favorite activities involve rougher terrain than a well-maintained path through a park, you may need true hiking shoes that offer improved ankle support and construction that's intended to protect your feet from the elements.
Kuru's Ridge Motion (available in men's and women's versions) is a great hiking shoe that's not just good for single-track paths over rocks, roots and creeks — it's good for reducing the risk of foot pain and plantar fasciitis too.
The standout feature of these boots is the brand's patented Kurusole technology, which offers improved heel support that flexes with each step you take. This provides dynamic heel, ankle and arch support throughout your stride that helps reduce impact through your heel pad and encourages proper posture.
Additionally, they're just good hiking shoes — weather-resistant leather uppers keep your feet warm and dry, the gusseted tongue keeps sticks or pebbles from sneaking inside, and the rubber toe bumper protects your toes if you accidentally kick a rock.
Our tester isn't an every-weekend type of hiker, but she and her family go on regular camping trips where they hit the trails together. She said these boots really made a difference in her second-day experiences, when typically she would lay off a hike due to residual heel pain from her first day's ventures.
She found herself able to go longer without pain on consecutive days, making her camping trips more fun than usual. She did say, however, that these are sturdy boots — they definitely require a bit of a break-in period. "I would try wearing these while running errands for a few days before taking them on longer hikes," she advises.

Birkenstock's classic Arizona sandal is another option for improving overall foot health and reducing plantar fasciitis pain on your more casual, low-key days. Like all Birkenstock shoes, the contoured cork-latex footbed conforms to your foot with ongoing wear, gradually offering more custom support for an ultra-comfortable fit.
Unlike many casual sandals, Birkenstocks also feature high-quality arch support and a deeper heel cup that help encourage proper gait and posture to reduce the likelihood of walking form problems that could contribute to plantar fasciitis and foot pain.
Our tester loved that the straps are adjustable, allowing her to really get the right fit for her foot. "So many slides are too tight or too loose and there's no way to adjust them," she says. She also says she was surprised how much she liked the firm footbed without extra cushioning. "I'm used to wearing shoes with a lot of cushion — I didn't think I'd like these that much. But I found after breaking them in, they really did offer high-quality support, and I found myself less prone to pain on the days that I wore them."
But that brings up an issue — the leather straps on these oiled leather Arizonas are very stiff at first and definitely need a break-in period. Until they're more broken in, the edges of the straps can rub a bit, so you may want to wear them for shorter periods or pair them with socks (nothing like that Birkenstocks-with-socks vibe, hey?) until the leather loosens up a bit.
Selecting the right footwear is crucial. The best shoes for plantar fasciitis can make the difference between stepping out with a spring in your step or hobbling like you've just walked across a bed of LEGO bricks. Here's what to look for:
"When managing plantar fasciitis, it is important to look for shoes that provide adequate arch support to reduce strain on the plantar fascia," says Fuchs. Optimal arch support distributes pressure evenly across the foot, reducing strain on the plantar fascia.
Shoes with a contoured insole featuring a raised arch and deep heel cup can naturally position the foot to minimize stress on this sensitive area.
Cushioning absorbs impact during activities like walking or running, lessening stress on the heel and arch. Materials such as ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) in the midsole are effective for shock absorption.
However, every foot is different. As Landon Uetz, PT, DPT and pickleball instructor at TeachMe.To explains, "If you have really flat feet, you may benefit from a more rigid shoe with more support, whereas if you have a high arch, you may benefit from a more cushioned shoe with proper arch support. At the end of the day, comfort is key."
Your shoes must be stable. A key feature in achieving this stability is the heel counter — a rigid structure embedded in the rear part of the shoe. The heel counter works in conjunction with the heel stabilizer.
As Derek Roach, owner of FlowFeet.com, notes, "A heel stabilizer is an important shoe feature to stabilize the foot and keep the foot from excessively rolling inward (overpronation). Excessive ankle roll-in puts added strain on the plantar fascia, which can worsen symptoms. This [heel stabilizer], often integrated with the heel counter, wraps around the heel to limit rearfoot movement." As a result, these features help maintain the foot's natural alignment, reducing stress on the plantar fascia and alleviating discomfort.
Choosing footwear with suitable materials and construction is crucial for comfort, durability and effective shock absorption. High-quality materials, such as breathable fabrics, prevent moisture buildup, while flexible yet supportive soles promote natural foot movement.
Roach suggests looking for a slight rocker bottom sole. He explains, "A rocker bottom sole promotes a more natural foot motion and reduces heel impact, which is beneficial for those with plantar fasciitis. The rocker bottom curve of the sole facilitates forward propulsion for a smoother gait and reduces the stretching of the plantar fascia that occurs with each step."
The experts we spoke to also recommended looking for a horseshoe shape at the bottom, as this helps redistribute and absorb shock rather than sending it directly through the heel. This design incorporates a perimeter breakover edge around the circumference of the shoe, which further aids in shock absorption and supports healthy circulation throughout the foot. By providing a structured path for energy dispersion, it minimizes the stress transmitted to the heel and other vulnerable areas.
Ensuring a true fit is crucial when buying shoes for plantar fasciitis. As physical therapist Claire Morrow of Hinge Health says, "The first thing is that you want to make sure the shoe fits properly and comfortably when you try it on." This is particularly important when dealing with plantar fasciitis, as ill-fitting footwear can exacerbate the condition.
"Having a proper fitting shoe from day one is key," Morrow says. Visiting a local running shoe store can be beneficial for those uncertain about their correct shoe size. "They typically have experts who can measure your foot and suggest a shoe that will best fit your foot and needs."
Well-fitting shoes alleviate discomfort and play a significant role in effectively managing plantar fasciitis.
While support is vital, the shoe should allow natural foot flexion, especially in the toe area, to maintain normal gait patterns. Excessive rigidity can lead to discomfort and other foot problems.
Morrow says, "Our feet are made to move and be flexible, so when people wear too supportive of a shoe, this can also cause problems. A shoe should be sturdy but flexible throughout the toe box to allow your foot to move. If more support is needed, there are plenty of really great inserts on the market that can be added to a shoe."
To find the best shoes for plantar fasciitis we started by interviewing podiatrists, physical therapists and shoe store owners to determine which features are particularly important to help alleviate the condition. We then researched dozens of brands and hundreds of models, focusing on those that have an APMA seal of acceptance or that specialize in developing shoes for specific foot conditions.
Finally, we had a panel of individuals who were either experiencing plantar fasciitis or who had experienced it in the recent past, test a dozen pairs of shoes over the course of three months to determine which ones were the best for preventing or reducing pain associated with the condition. Out of the 12 models, eight made the cut. We will continue to test shoes on a rolling basis to be able to update this article.
When dealing with plantar fasciitis, it's best to avoid certain types of shoes:
Heels: High heels place excessive pressure on the forefoot and can strain the plantar fascia. Shoes with tall heels (greater than 1.5 inches) position the calf muscles and Achilles tendon in a shortened state, potentially aggravating plantar fasciitis symptoms. However, moderation is key. As Morrow says, "If you're not currently in pain, it's OK to wear those cute sandals or heels, just not all the time. An 80/20 rule is generally a good guideline: Spend 80% of your time in shoes that are supportive and comfortable, without a tall heel."
Flats: Ballet flats or flip-flops often lack arch support, increasing tension on the plantar fascia. Shoes with thin soles and zero heel drop can be particularly problematic. Additionally, shoes that bend too easily in the arch or can be twisted like a towel lack structural integrity, which is essential for foot support.
Poorly fitting shoes: Tight or ill-fitting shoes can restrict natural foot movement and cause issues like chafing or blisters, further aggravating plantar fasciitis symptoms. Daniel Geller, a sports podiatrist and foot and ankle surgeon in Westlake Village, Calif., emphasizes the importance of avoiding shoes that don't fit well or cause discomfort.
Overly supportive shoes: There's a common misconception that everyone with plantar fasciitis requires highly supportive shoes. Morrow explains, "It's best for people to start with a neutral shoe," Morrow says, "unless they have been advised by a podiatrist or physical therapist that they need more support." Overreliance on orthopedic footwear can sometimes weaken foot muscles over time.
Opting for footwear with appropriate arch support is crucial for managing plantar fasciitis. Here's how to assess whether a shoe's arch is up to the job:
Evaluate the insole contour: Examine the shoe's insole to ensure it has a noticeable arch that aligns with the natural curve of your foot. This design helps distribute pressure evenly, reducing strain on the plantar fascia.
Firmness: Press on the arch area of the insole. It should offer resistance and not collapse easily, indicating adequate support.
Bend test: Attempt to bend the shoe in half. Ideally, the shoe should flex at the ball of the foot, not in the middle. Excessive flexibility may mean insufficient support.
Twist test: Try twisting the shoe. Minimal twisting indicates good structural integrity, which is essential for robust arch support.
Material quality: Look for shoes with cushioning materials like EVA foam, which absorb shock and reduce impact on the plantar fascia.
Yes, many running shoes are designed with features beneficial for plantar fasciitis. They often include enhanced cushioning, arch support and shock absorption to reduce strain on the plantar fascia making sneakers for plantar fasciitis a solid choice. However, it is essential to choose a running shoe that aligns with your specific foot mechanics and provides the necessary functionality.
If you're battling plantar fasciitis, traditional flip-flops and sandals are often detrimental due to their lack of arch support and cushioning, which stresses the bottom of the feet.
Uetz notes, "As a PT, I often see individuals with plantar fasciitis symptoms wearing sandals/flip flops/slip-on shoes due to convenience. There is often little to no support in these types of shoes, so when the goal is to increase our walking tolerance it may be challenging to do so."
However, certain sandals are designed with therapeutic features suitable for plantar fasciitis. For example, the OOfos Ooahh Slide is crafted to alleviate foot pain and absorb more shock than typical sandals. So, if sandals are your thing, prioritize those with contoured footbeds and decent arch support.
Fuchs explains that orthotics can effectively manage plantar fasciitis by providing additional support and promoting correct foot alignment. They can be used with various types of footwear, but it's crucial to ensure that the shoes have enough space to accommodate the orthotics without compromising comfort.
Shoes with removable insoles are particularly compatible with custom orthotics. It's advisable to consult with a podiatrist to determine the best insoles for plantar fasciitis and the most appropriate orthotic and footwear combination for your condition.
If you're still experiencing foot pain despite wearing orthopedic shoes, it's necessary to address the issue. But don't worry too much! Geller reminds us that plantar fasciitis is a common condition: "It's not an 'if,' but rather a 'when' we will get plantar fasciitis. It's the most common complaint I'll see in the office. Just take a step back, breathe and relax."
He recommends several self-care measures to alleviate symptoms:
Stretching: Regular stretching of the calf muscles and plantar fascia can reduce tension and promote healing.
Icing: Applying ice to the affected area helps decrease inflammation and numb pain.
Rest and recovery: Limiting activities that worsen pain allows the plantar fascia to heal.
Anti-inflammatory treatments: Over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) can reduce pain and inflammation. Natural supplements such as fish oil, turmeric and arnica may also be beneficial.
Properly vetting your footwear is crucial. Geller advises, "Make sure your shoes are not worn out and are right for your foot type and athletic sport." Individuals with low arches, he says, "will benefit from orthotics for better control and support."
If self-care measures don't lead to improvement, consult a health care professional. Geller notes that diagnostic imaging such as X-ray, ultrasound or MRI, may be necessary to determine the underlying issue.
Treatment options for persistent cases include:
Cortisone injections: These can reduce inflammation but may have side effects, such as weakening or rupturing the fascia.
Shockwave therapy: This non-invasive treatment stimulates healing in the affected area.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy: PRP injections can improve symptoms and often have longer-lasting effects than other treatments.
Physical therapy: A physical therapist can develop a comprehensive plan that includes stretching, strengthening and manual therapies to address the condition.
Taping or strapping: This technique involves applying tape to the foot to stabilize the plantar fascia.
Geller emphasizes the importance of seeking help if symptoms persist: "See a doc if you're not getting better... Seek help."
Kuru Roam: The Kuru Roam is very similar to the Birkenstock Bend Low, and they were tested by the same individual. Our tester actually preferred the Roam at first, but after breaking in the Bend Low, found the footbed to be more conforming and comfortable, although the differences were negligible.
Birkenstock Boston: Our tester wanted to love this slip-on clog, but despite wearing it regularly, never felt that it got fully broken in. She also couldn't get quite the right fit with the buckled strap, and didn't feel the support was sufficient for this reason.
Kane Revive: Truly, we love the Kane Revive shoes. They're not the most stylish shoes around, but they're comfortable and make a good alternative to the OOfos as a recovery shoe. That said, there's no way to customize their fit and one of our testers found the upper placed more pressure on her arches than she liked. For that reason, the OOfos took the top spot.
