If you cross train, you probably have experienced plantar fasciitis. It is hard to place all the force on your foot and not develop plantar fasciitis. One of the treatments you can perform to help your plantar fasciitis is to get into a good pair of cross trainers. What do you look for in a cross trainer for plantar fasciitis? You want a cross training shoe that provides solid arch support but also provides a great deal of padding and shock absorption in the heel. The more shock absorption you have in the heel the less stress will be placed on the plantar fascia, hopefully helping ease the condition. Below I have listed a couple of shoes of which I consider to be the best cross training shoes for Plantar Fasciitis:
ASICs Gel Craze Cross Training Shoe– Remember what I said previously about padding in the heel to decrease stress. What is better than actually having gel in the heel to help reduce shock and stress on the heel? This shoe also features a PEVA midsole to help further reduce stress on the plantar fascia and support the arch.
PUMA Voltaic Cross Training Shoe– Sometimes you can just tell a shoe is ideal for plantar fasciitis by looking at it. As you can see this PUMA features a great deal of padding in the heel which is clearly visible to the naked eye, making this shoe ideal for people suffering from Plantar Fasciitis.
New Balance Cross Training 608– I am not going to lie, I love New Balance sneakers. They always play function ahead of style which makes for a properly designed biomechanical fit. This 608 is no different. It has an EVA foam bed for cushioning as well as an ABZORB midfoot cushioning system.
