[pct-l] Best Trail shoes for those with Plantar Fasciitis

[Scott Williams]

Altra Lone Peaks are one such shoe.  They were used by three of my friends
on the CDT last summer and they all loved them.  Some people need to take a
bit of time to get used to them as the "zero drop heel" uses your muscles a
bit differently, though none of the three needed any real break in period.
 They put them on and hiked to Canada.  I like them for trail running, but
haven't trusted them for a long trail yet.
