When you work in a restaurant you are on your feet all the time. This makes you susceptible to developing Plantar Fasciitis. There are many treatments for plantar fasciitis: cortisone shots, orthotics, night splints and stretching. One simple treatment is to wear better shoes. What do you look for in a shoe that will help treat plantar fasciitis? You want a shoe that provides support. Plantar fasciitis is caused by a tightness of the ligament on the plantar surface of the foot. A good supportive shoe will help support that ligament. Also, you want a shoe that has padding to help reduce stress and strain placed on it. Below I have posted some examples of what I think the best Restaurant shoes for Plantar Fasciitis:
Mens MOZO Forza Work Shoe– This shoe is a slip on with a couple of ideal features for treating plantar fasciitis. This shoe features gel insoles as well as full length insoles to give support to your arch. If you want to wear a shoe that is Croc like, this maybe the shoe for you to wear to help with your plantar fasciitis.
Dickies Venue II Work Shoe– This shoe features a memory foam insole. Now this would not be my first choice. However,if you feel part of your problem is your shoes never fit right, this would be the shoe to get for the memory foam insole.
New Balance 626 Slip Resistant Cross Training Shoe– If you have Plantar Fasciitis the best brand of shoe you can buy is New Balance. Ask any Podiatrist and they will tell you to purchase New Balance. Why New Balance? Superior construction. This specific New Balance features ABZORB cushioning to help absorb the stress your foot will feel during weight bearing.
