I’ve been dealing with heel pain due to plantar fasciitis and have done all the things suggested by the doctors, no relief. Heard that earth shoes with the negative heel have been worn and have given some pain relief. They are quite expensive and I’d like more information before I buy them.

You can buy some great Earth Sandals at Wal-Mart for about $14. They’re soo comfortable. You can also go to eBay and ask to be notified when Earth Shoes come up for auction. I have several pair purchased on eBay, and never paid over $18 including shipping. I absolutely live in my Earth Shoes, and my feet have never felt better since I discovered them.

Actually high heels are better as they force the weight to the ball of the foot. You may wish to tie you rfeet at night. Tie the toes/ballof foot to ypur calve or ankle so that the bottom of the foot is stretched backwards. Rolling pin on the bottom before you go to bed or are watching TV. Exercise the plantar fascia ligament whenever you are standing. Putting on makeup, on the phone, waiting in line. Up and down on your toes. Comfortable shoes are a must. Heel cushions too.
