Experts Recommend $75 Shoes to Ease Plantar Fasciitis Pain

Summary
$75 to $170 shoes from Hoka, New Balance, Brooks, ASICS, Orthofeet, On and Stoke were highlighted by podiatrists as options for plantar fasciitis, a common source of persistent heel pain.
Doctors said the best picks reduce stress on the plantar fascia through cushioning, arch support, shock absorption, stable platforms and, in some cases, higher heel-to-toe drop for tight calves or limited ankle motion.
$170 Hoka Bondi 9 was pitched for long periods of standing, while New Balance's 990v6 and Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 were recommended for support, stability and all-day wear.
Budget-minded shoppers were pointed to the sub-$100 ASICS Gel-Excite 11 and $80 Stoke Shoes, while Orthofeet's slip-on model adds an orthotic insole for easier daily use.
