Waking up to a sharp pain in your heel? That sudden, jarring ache with the first step of the day could be a sign of plantar fasciitis—a common and frustrating cause of heel pain that can be relieved with the right plantar fasciitis shoes.

Plantar fasciitis develops because every step you take begins with your heels. Repeated impact creates micro-tears in the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue at the bottom of your foot. Without the right support, these tears can worsen, leading to chronic inflammation, discomfort, and mobility issues.

Traditional footwear often fails to provide the heel and arch support you need. Flimsy flats or unsupportive sneakers leave your feet vulnerable to further strain. High heels? They not only aggravate the condition but also risk creating new problems.

KURU’s women's shoes for plantar fasciitis are built with heel-first technology to provide relief with each step. Our unique KURUSOLE cushioning system adapts to your heel, absorbing shock and reducing pressure where it’s needed most—helping you enjoy fewer painful mornings and more active days.

With KURU, you can step into the day with confidence. Whether you’re standing at work, taking a walk, or running errands, our shoes are designed to support your natural movement.

Key Features of the Best Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis

For effective relief, you need footwear that combines comfort, stability, and targeted support. Here’s what makes KURU’s collection of supportive women's shoes for plantar fasciitis a trusted choice:

Cushioning that Works with You: Our advanced cushioning in the insole and midsole absorbs shock and distributes weight evenly, reducing pressure on the plantar fascia.

Arch and Heel Support for Stability: Each pair is crafted with firm arch support to keep your foot aligned and a heel-hugging counter for stability, minimizing strain during long periods of wear.

Roomy Toe Box for Comfort: A wider toe box allows natural toe movement, reducing pressure on the forefoot for lasting comfort.

FAQs

Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes. Activities like standing, walking, or running can lead to inflammation in this tissue, especially if your shoes don’t provide adequate support. Choosing shoes specifically designed for plantar fasciitis can help reduce strain and discomfort
To keep your feet supported, it’s best to avoid shoes like high heels, thin-soled flats, and unsupportive sandals if you have plantar fasciitis. These types often lack the cushioning and arch support needed to reduce pressure on the plantar fascia. Instead, opt for footwear with stability features to help ease foot pain.
For those managing plantar fasciitis, replacing shoes every 6 to 8 months, or every 300 to 500 miles, can help maintain consistent support. As cushioning and support degrade over time, foot strain can increase, so keep an eye on wear like flattened soles to know when to replace.
Doctors often recommend shoes with features like arch support, heel cushioning, and a deep heel cup for those with plantar fasciitis. These elements relieve pressure on the plantar fascia and help keep you on your feet comfortably. Look for plantar fasciitis shoes that combine these qualities for lasting support.
The best shoes for plantar fasciitis provide arch support, a deep heel cup, and shock-absorbing soles to help reduce foot strain and promote natural alignment. Explore our collection of plantar fasciitis shoes designed to keep you active and comfortable 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!"

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."

Kortney

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!"
