Best Insoles for Plantar Fasciitis

When faced with Plantar Fasciitis, there are few things you want to do besides curl up into a ball and wallow in the misery of your foot pain.

I know. I’ve been there.

I’ve incurred seven ankle sprains, fallen 30 feet off the face of a cliff, and dropped a bag of cement on my bare toe. And nothing compares to the pain of plantar fasciitis. No. Thing.

There are things you have to do to get better, like stretching, strengthening, icing, and resting. But there’s also a few things that are painless, virtually effortless, and pay huge dividends. One of those things is to go out and get yourself a good footwear for plantar fasciitis and of course - best insoles for plantar fasciitis.

I know the idea of restricting yourself to shoes that you can put those insoles into might dampen your spirits even further, especially if it’s summer, you have fancy affairs to attend, or you’re an athlete, already restricted and blue because of it. But do this.

The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll start to feel better, and you’ll be able to get back to doing all the things you love. And best of all, you won’t feel like you’re walking on shards of glass.

Ok, so that’s settled. You’re gonna get yourself a good pair of shoe inserts.

But which ones, right? There are so many over the counter orthotics to choose from, it’s hard to know where to put your money in order to get the most out of it.

Do you go to the doctor for custom orthotics?
Shop Amazon to see what’s recommended and others are saying, or which are the best sellers? There are shoe inserts of every variety from the best for arch support to those billed as pain relieving.

Should you ask your doctor, go with the pharmacist’s recommendation, or take to the internet?

It’s overwhelming. But don’t worry. We’ve done a lot of the leg work for you, so your legs (and feet) can get some much needed rest. Go get some ice, and have a read. Below you’ll find a broad survey with some of your best options. You’ll be on the road to recovery–and to your favorite activity–in no time.

Best Plantar Fasciitis Insoles

So, what are the best orthotics For plantar fasciitis?

Vionic with Orthaheel Technology

When someone says Vionic you’re in good hands. These are top of the line, providing supportive technology and the very best arch support that will work for just about any shoe you want.

If you want an insert designed by a podiatrist without having to go get a prescription, go Vionic. They’re designed to heal your fascia with proper alignment and arch support.

They improve pronation, which is a very common side effect of PF.

You can put these into your workout, cross training, casual, work, hiking, or casual shoe for immediate relief, as they’re specifically designed to be worn in your everyday wear shoes.

They employ what they call a biomechanical Tri-Planar Motion control, which acts to realign your feet into their natural position, to support your arches, and to stabilize your gait.

They have a deep heel cup and molded EVA base that provides unparalleled comfort and the best support you can find. The forefoot and heel pad absorb shock and balance the energy of every strike.

They’re super soft nylon and contain an EcoFresh microbe shield to combat the bacteria that causes odor. Just take out the insoles that came with your shoes, and pop these in. If needed, you can trim them to fit snugly.

Superfeet Green

As a runner with falling arches, tight calves, and a propensity to supinate (roll to the outsides of my feet), as someone who has also suffered debilitating shin splints and moan-worthy PF, these things work. I started putting Superfeet Greens into my shoes about 12 years ago after my first bout with PF, and I’ve never looked back.

I now own the whole line, and I wear them in all of my shoes. They are serious miracle workers. They have a very deep heel cup and are contoured just right so that the fascia is fully supported.

They’re also highly shock absorbent. They’re made of a very high density foam, known as closed-cell, and it really cushions your feet with every step you take.

This is Superfeet’s most popular insole due to their outstanding structure and stability that comes with the foam layer.

Superfeet Premium

The Premium line features ¾ insoles for men and women as well as one designed specifically to be worn with high heels. This is welcome news if you need to get dressed up or are dying to get out but the thought of heels makes you want to weep.

These are built for your harder-to-fit shoes that are a little tighter than your everyday casual, workout, or walking shoe.

They have the same deep heel cup for support and absorbing shock, and are coated in microsuede for softness and comfort.

They have built in odor control and a carbon fiber stabilizing cap at the base so the rear of your foot is supported. This also provides stability with structure so you are less likely to roll.

They’re reinforced with their proprietary EVOlyte, which is a carbon fiber and polymer blend.

Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx Orthotics

This orthotic insole has a firm outer shell and the heel platform is angled.

These together give you control as well as ideal arch support. Made of plush VCT and EVA foam, these are super soft and comfortable inserts for your everyday work, casual, and workout shoes. They’re specifically designed for those with PF and tend to pronate. They have a double layer of cushioning and antimicrobial material for odor and bacteria control.

Dr. Scholl

As you can well imagine, there are several to choose from when you’re going Dr. Scholl. There’s a reason these have stood the test of time, are such big sellers, and are still available from the drug store.

They’re a solid choice for a reasonable price. You can choose from the energy massaging gel, work, memory fit, extra support, ultracool, thin, tri-comfort, “air-pillow,” double “air-pillo,” athletic, odor-fighting, three different options manufactured specifically for ladies’ high heels and flats, and many more.

Whichever best suits your specific arch, heel, or whole-foot pain associated with PF, you won’t be disappointed by the relief you get. They’re designed to provide long-lasting comfort, support, and stability, and the relief will be noticed within a few wearings.
