I had extremely painful pf for months back in 2014 so I did research on walking barefoot. It turns out that because we shod our feet all the time and are not using the proper muscles that we would if we walked barefoot. the muscles in our feet can begin to atrophy. So I went barefoot for 5 months (I lived on an egalitarian community and so could do this) at first I carried flip flops because the pain was so intense, but after a few weeks the pf went away and I didn’t have any problems from that time forward, until recently. I no longer live on this farm and hardly ever get to go barefoot 🙁 my left heel hurts so badly…I’m soaking my feet now and will begin walking around in yard barefoot….again. Also connecting to the earth is highly beneficial. Look it up!

I have just returned to work after 8 years off, the pain is unbelievable!
My feet knees hips and back, nearly makes me cry after 2 1/2 hours. I have tried four different kinds of shoes, one expensive pair of orthotics , several pair of inserts, to no avail!!
Right now I am soaking my feet in, hot water with epson salt , Vick’s salve, and apple cider vinegar. I will let you know how that works!

In reply to Tracy Bridge. Tracy, did you do anything else like stretching & icing? My husband did stretching, icing & good inserts religiously but it has not helped! I recommended the salt baths and told him about your results and he wanted to know if you did other things. I hope this works and he for him

In reply to john henson. I have plantar fasciiatis for more than a month now. When I stop stretching, soaking in Epson salts (ess. oils) and massaging: it comes back. So from now on, I will soak twice a week. My left heel is very painful. I avoid walking barefoot, I wear crocs.

I wonder if the warm water relaxes the muscle so the heel pain isn’t so bad. The pain is worse once you’ve been off your feet until you get moving and warm up the muscle. Regardless, soaking my feet in a warm Epson salt bath seems to help the pain. I’ve had pain for over 5 months and a cortisone shot that only helped for a week.

In reply to Kathy. When I had plantar fasciitis, I wore a walking boot for 3-4 months. It cured it.
