It is typically mechanical in nature which means there is a correlation between activity and pain. Pain is often worse in the morning and eases within the first hour of walking.
We are specialists in the treatment of plantar fasciitis in London. We have extensive experience in the creation of plantar fasciitis insoles for all foot shapes and shoe sizes. Our biomechanical assessment consists of 3D-Scanning of your foot and video gait analysis to assess how much support to provide for your plantar fasciitis insole.
Do insoles help with Plantar Fasciitis?
Our plantar fasciitis insoles are custom-made to the shape of your foot. Following your biomechanical assessment, we create a custom insole to optimise how your foot is moving in your shoe. This helps to shorten the plantar fascia so that there isn’t as much force and stretch being applied to your plantar fascia when you walk or run. We always recommend that you use your custom insoles with strengthening exercises. We have created a blog on the best exercises for plantar fasciitis here.

What’s the difference between custom insoles and insoles from Boots, Scholl, or Superdrug?
Everyone’s feet are unique. Some people have left and right feet that are of different shapes and sizes. Our custom insoles are designed for the unique shape and movement of your feet. This reduces the risk of blistering that off-the-shelf insoles can provide. Custom insoles are comfortable, durable, and long-lasting. Ours come with a lifetime warranty and can be modified free of charge.

For daily walking and casual wear, we recommend our Superflex custom insoles as there are light, thin, and can fit in any type of casual footwear or pumps. Our Superflex insoles function optimally for up to 5 years. Our Runflex insoles are our best long-lasting insoles for Plantar Fasciitis when it comes to sport. They are more robust than our Superflex insoles so they can tolerate higher impact and force.
