Nike is the number one selling sneaker brand in the world. Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common foot ailments in the world. It is completely normal to have plantar fasciitis and wear Nikes. There are many treatments for Plantar Fasciitis such as stretching, anti inflammatories, cortisone shots and night splints. One simple treatment is to get in better shoes. What are the best Nike sneakers for Plantar Fasciitis? What are you looking for in a sneaker for plantar fasciitis? The ideal sneaker for plantar fasciitis will have moderate arch supports that conforms to the contour of your foot. It will also have a deep heel cup to help with external motion in the heel and most importantly provide shock absorption in the heel to reduce stress on the plantar fascia. Below I have listed what I believe are examples of the best Nike Sneakers for Plantar Fasciitis:
Nike Dart 10 Running Shoe– Here is why I like this sneaker for plantar fasciitis: the shock absorption in the heel. Look at the thick sole in the heel, this shoe also provides a great deal of arch support.
Nike Flex Experience RN 2 Running Shoe– This shoe I mainly recommend for its arch suppport. In fact, if you suffer from a flat foot and have plantar fasciitis this is the shoe I recommend. This shoe will contour to your arch while providing the support you need.
Nike Air Max– In my opinion this is the best Nike sneaker for people who suffer from Plantar Fasciitis. The extra shock absorption in the heel provided by the air insole is ideal for reducing stress on the Plantar Fascia. One of the leading reasons for the development of plantar fascitiis is extra stress put on the plantar fascia by walking and running. This Nike Air Max reduces that greatly.
