Plantar Fascitis White's boots.com

[Guest guest]

White's boots are handmade in spokane, they have been making boots for over 125

yrs. They are expensive but worth every penny. There advantage is that they give

you ankle support which is often a cause of pain in the feet, because we tend

to injury the ankle and it never fully recovers. Compensation patterns will

create all kinds of problems. I have worn these boots for 25+ years.

Good luck.

Oh, I feel your pain, literally. The one difference between the two of

us is that I've got it in the left foot. (which I'd like to gnaw off at the

ankle....) It seems that you are doing everything right, the only thing I didn't

notice in your mail was the use of orthotics....Your doctor can fit you to

orthotics which you then wear in your shoes---it's supposed to really help p.f.

and I know a lot of people who have had good success with them. I bought a pair

(they're expensive and insurance usually does not cover) and the p.f. in my

right foot went away. I still have it in my left but I am also going to physical

therapy where they do ultrasound to break up the tissue and they also do a type

of electric stimulation to the heel area. Best of luck to you, I know how

frustrating this is..
