Plantar Fasciitis Explained

Plantar fasciitis – inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament – causes pain in the bottom of the foot, around the heel and arch. Causes may include frequent standing, long-distance running or obesity, but also gait abnormalities (e.g. pronation) and footwear with poor arch support.

Our made-to-measure orthotic insoles, informed by personalised gait analysis, can minimise the stress and stretching of the plantar fascia and ease and prevent pain and discomfort. They dynamically shape to the contours of your feet, feature anatomical arch support and superb heel cushioning and are customised exactly to your needs.

Key Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis:

Sharp heel pain (especially in the morning)

Most noticeable with the first steps after getting out of bed.
Pain often improves with movement but may return after long periods of standing or after getting up from sitting.

Pain after exercise or activity

Unlike some injuries, pain usually worsens after, not during, physical activity.

Tenderness at the bottom of the heel

Pressing on the inner part of the heel often causes discomfort.

Stiffness and limited ankle or foot mobility

Especially noticeable in the morning or after rest.

Pain when climbing stairs or walking barefoot

Shoes with poor arch support or walking barefoot may aggravate symptoms.

Less Common but Possible Symptoms

Mild swelling or warmth in the heel
A tight Achilles tendon
A limp or altered walking pattern due to pain

Syble Case

"Nobody wants problems with their feet, but such a comfort to know that there is somewhere you can go for help, expert advice, and first class service. I used to live nearby and pop into the shop, I don’t worry that I’ve now moved, as they’re just a phone call away"

Bridget Andrews

"I have been a customer at Special Footwear for 20 years.

I’ve had formal shoes and hiking boots made, as well as modifications to sandals.

The shoes have enabled me to live a normal and active life, and leave behind the horror of NHS shoes inflicted upon me as a child."
