The best golf shoes for Plantar Fasciitis
Do you suffer from Plantar Fasciitis? Do your feet a favour and get a pair of shoes that will keep you feeling comfortable when you’re playing golf
Golf shoes for Plantar Fasciitis
Haven’t you heard the news? Tiger Woods has pulled out of the 2022 Hero World Challenge with plantar fasciitis. So what on earth is it?
Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of each foot and connects the heel bone to the toes.
If you’ve suffered from plantar fasciitis before, it’s pretty painful. It involves an intense stabbing pain felt in the heel and bottom of the foot.
The cause of this type of heel pain isn’t yet clear, but identified risk factors include long periods of standing, excessive walking or running, or a constant inward rolling of the foot.
Golfers with plantar fasciitis should be looking for slightly heavier shoes that are ergonomically designed to offer comfort and support the foot during the golf swing.
On the other hand, you should be avoiding narrow golf shoes. These restrict the forefoot, and some golfers have wider feet than others.
So let’s take a look at our favourite golf shoes for plantar fasciitis on the market for the 2022 season. Our line-up includes brand-new and older models that are best suited to support your feet when you play golf.
