[pct-l] plantar fasciitis experiences



There was a shoe manufactured in Grants New Mexico, called the Z- coil.
They had a website. I know a couple of rough back country types who swear by
these shoes for their PF - the heel pad is on a spring to absorb the impact.
Apparently they are quite durable,  and you will look innovative , maybe
eccentric.  Alternately you could never let somebody get to your offside,
and always keep facing them and never allow them to sight the coil (humility
lessons?).  With a litle judicious bowing, the people that you pass on the
trail might just think you are practicing for saithood or to be a  pion for
some still -in -the -throne king.

sounds like a good therapist is the ticket if you can find one.  The
untramarathoner sites have some very good background and advice on this
problem: Try this website.

Most of the advice boils down to don't do ANYTHING  to aggrevate the
condition, which includes never, not for one second, being barefoot or
without an arch support.
