Walking shoes with arch support

I don't suffer from plantar fasciitis but have painful archs, they seem too arched if you get my drift.

I was told by a podiatrist to avoid Skechers at all costs as although very comfortable they offer no support for the foot at all.

She made an insert for me which I use most of the time, having to buy shoes that it will fit is not always easy.

I also took advice from my local independent outdoor clothing shop and on his advice I wear Grisport walking boots, an open toed sandle by Teva and a closed toe walking sandal by Keen.

If your condition is curable, maybe a temporary orthotic would be the best way forward otherwise you will end up with shoes you may not want to wear once the plantar fasciitis is over.

There are some good socks on Ebay which help Plantar Vascilitis.

My podiatrist put me onto Hotters and also an arch support for other shoes. I now wear hotters almost all the time.

I find Vionic shoes very helpful though they can be quite expensive. If buying ordinary shoes I buy a size larger and put insoles from a pair of Vionics inside them.
