Let’s talk plantar fasciitis. Ever felt that sharp ache in your heels the moment you step out of bed? If so, you may have experienced plantar fasciitis—one of the most common causes of heel pain in the US.

So how does plantar fasciitis occur? Since every step you take begins with your heels, constant impact can gradually lead to pain, inflammation, and small tears in the tissue at the bottom of your foot—the plantar fascia. Without proper support, this discomfort can worsen, which is why choosing the right shoes can be vital for both relief and prevention.

Shoes designed for plantar fasciitis offer extra cushioning for your heels and support for your arches, soles, and Achilles tendons. At KURU, we specialize in crafting supportive footwear for women, with dynamic heel cushioning that protects your feet, allowing you to live pain-free and do the things you love.

Key Features of Plantar Fasciitis Shoes for Women

When searching for shoes to help with plantar fasciitis, it’s important to avoid high heels or flimsy flats, which can aggravate pain. Since women are more prone to this condition, selecting supportive footwear is essential. Here’s what to look for:

Cushioning. The best shoes for plantar fasciitis provide extra cushioning in the insole and midsole. This helps absorb shock and reduces pressure on the plantar fascia, offering much-needed relief.

Arch and Heel Support. Proper arch support helps maintain your foot’s natural alignment, reducing strain during extended periods of standing or walking. A supportive heel counter also enhances stability, minimizing stress on the heel bone.

Roomy Toe Box. A wide toe box allows your toes to move freely, easing pressure on the front of your foot and ensuring comfort for long-term wear.

By prioritizing these features, you can find shoes that not only address current heel pain but also help prevent future flare-ups, ensuring you stay comfortable and supported throughout the day.

Best Shoes for my Plantar Fasciitis

I had been struggling with plantar fasciitis and heel pain for a couple of years when I bought several different brands of supportive athletic shoes. These KURU ATOMs absolutely rose to the top for comfort, support and how good my feet feel at the end of the day. I've had this pair for 6mos, wear them probably 90% of the time and they still look and feel great. The bottom tread is just now starting to show some wear. I particularly appreciate the smoke grey-pale orange color combo. It coordinates easily and doesn't scream athletic shoe. Highly recommend!"

Best shoes for plantar fasciitis

I have been suffering from foot pain for a while, the orthopedist diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis, I found this brand, needed a shoe to walk indoors because walking on hard floors made my feet hurt more, these are the best shoe so comfortable, pain has gotten a lot better since I started using them."

Plantar Fasciitis

I was having the absolute worst pain in my heel when I would get up in the mornings and I searched for a shoe that advertised it could essentially treat it. This was the one I bought and I am so thankful! Worth every penny. Healed my plantar fascia and I no longer have pain."

Plantar fasciitis gone!

I have had my QUANTUMs for about 10 months now and could not be happier. Prior to purchasing these, I had daily pain from plantar fasciitis even with custom orthotics. Since I started wearing the QUANTUMs, I have virtually no heel pain! I bought the electric grape/midnight blue and I love the colors!"

Resolved plantar fasciitis!

I am on my feet at work for over forty hours per week. I struggled with pain from plantar fasciitis and resulting heel spurs until finding KURU in 2016. This shoe supports my high arch and cradles/cushions my heel. Pain free for six years and counting. Thank you KURU!"
