It depends on your foot type. If you have a high arch, you'll need something more soft/flexible. If you're more flat footed you'll need something more rigid/supportive. I'd also suggest stretching out your calf and big toe prior to playing. Freeze a bottle of water and roll your foot on it after rounds

I also suffer with this issue. The Hyperflex shoes are wonderful. I don't seem to have much discomfort on the course. My main discomfort comes when I am working out for the most part.

I never knew what this condition was until this thread......the feedback is great of the OP. This is why I really enjoy the TT and FJ boards.

I agree! I thought I was somewhat alone with this issue!

Wow! When I wrote this topic I did not realize how many golfers have suffered with this issue. I have had PF off and on since Jr. High School. The last time was 16 years ago. I did see a podiatrist late last December and wear prescription orthotics for both feet now. I do all of the exercises on a daily basis and slowly but surely my PF is getting better. I ordered a pair of FJ Hyperflex II and wore them for the first time yesterday and without a doubt they were absolutely the most comfortable golf shoe I have ever worn. My custom made orthotics fit perfectly and the narrow last that makes up the Hyperflex II is perfect for my 13 A feet. What is weird is that when I have worn my Icons and Dryjoys with my inserts my feet were still killing me after a round and I would come home, ice my heel, pop Advil like eating popcorn to get some relief. Yesterday with the Hyperflex my heel was just a little tender but not bad. A few calf and toe stretches and rolling the tennis ball while watching TV and all was well. For some reason the Icons and Dryjoys do not provide the same degree of cushioning of my heel with my inserts as the Hyperflex II. When I get back to 100 % normal which I hope will be in a few months I will test out my Icons and Dryjoys again. But for now, I am going to wear out my FJ Hyperflex II's. You don't know how much I appreciate everyone's response to this horrible malady that effects so many golfers.

Hey Carl ... Glad to hear that the Hyperflex II is working out for you! Let's all hope that the condition does not last too much longer and that you can get back to normal again!

Something else to consider, is the possible use of a foam roller or something like a "Tiger Tail" muscle/massage roller for the calves. I have been going to a TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) Physical Trainer (Level II - working on Level III) and she introduced me to them -- the idea being to stretch out the tight calf muscles, etc. that often contributes to Plantar Fasciitis. Or perhaps chat with a physical rehab or therapist.

Thanks for the tip. I usually go to the gym a couple of times a week, more on rainy days and have access to foam rollers but never have used one. Will try it out this week. I do the stretch my calves using the tilting block, leaning against the wall with outstretched leg, toe raises, etc. All help. My foot guy said if I sat in a recliner and did not move for 6 weeks I would be cured. Impossible for a golfer :)

No more golf when it's cart path only for me. I played 18 holes last Wednesday and 9 holes Thursday that was cart path only and I was done. Even with my Hyperflex II shoes my left heel was killing me. I was a couch potato for the next 3 days and today my foot is somewhat back to where I can walk without to much discomfort. I am now on an Advil regiment and will be on it for another week to try to knock out the inflammation from too much walking. When I ride in a golf cart I still walk almost 4 miles which is at the top of my pain level and cart path only pushes me over the edge where I can barely walk. I figure conservatively I will have this fasciitis for another 3 months. I got it back in late October so I have already endured 4 months of discomfort. From my reading this ailment usually last between 6 months to year. Bummer for a golfer who enjoyed walking.
