Today we're continuing our plantar fasciitis talk. We've scoured the internet, consulted Dr. Google, and polled all the trolls available for comment. Here are the top 3 myths we've found regarding your favorite pain in the sole and mine, plantar fasciitis.

1. You can wear any shoe as long as you have inserts (prefab or custom orthotics). Your shoes matter, yes even with inserts. Putting an insert inside a shoe that doesn't support your foot mechanics (such as converse, nike, or even sketchers) is like putting racing tires on 1970 Gremlin. It's not going to look cooler, and it definitely isn't going to win any races.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) soaks cure plantar fasciitis. (Yes this is a thing.) While there are some benefits to using ACV… curing plantar fasciitis isn't one of them. In fact, this old wives tale can actually cause skin irritation or worse if you have other issues with your feet you may not be aware of.

3. Stretching cures plantar fasciitis. This is a tricky one. Stretching doesn’t cure plantar fasciitis. However, when started at an appropriate time (after you’ve healed from the condition) it can help keep fasciitis from returning. Stretching at the wrong time can actually prevent your fascia from healing properly.
