Question about Kenetrek boots and plantar fasciitis

[marioq]

Anyone have a pair of these and get Plantar Fasciitis while trying to break them in???

I have been plagued by this for 4 months now and though getting better and I did buy some new insoles, I was just curious/.….
Thanks

How old is your pair of boots?

I ask because I tried them out at the SHOT Show last year, and I was not a fan of their "new" insert. If I ever purchased a pair I decided that I'd swap inserts immediately.

So, I'm not surprised that you're having issues with them.

What insert did you buy?

They were newer. Bought from a guy here and they were in GREAT shape. He wore them for a weekend. He said and they looked less worn than that.

I wore them around the block for a few days and my foot hurt so I bought dr schols inserts where u stand on that pressure pad and it gives you the right insert.
Foot doesn't hurt when I wear them anymore but I think I started the cascade down plantar pain and I've been stretching ever since to try and get rid of it.

It's better but still not normal

 

[Dr. Vette]

Do the stretching, and also use a roller under the foot to help stretch it (Google it). It will take longer to fix it than it did to get it, but eventually it will heal.

Yes I am. Doing that. Lacrosse ball is a cool thing. From west coast so don't play lacrosse or see it but the PT at my office gave me that and it works great
