Plantar Fasciitis is a painful condition that affects the underside of the foot when standing, walking or running. The Plantar Fascia is a thick fibrous band of tissue that runs from the heel bone to the forefoot, helping to provide stability and integrity to the structure of the foot. When standing, the Plantar Fascia is placed under tension and the tension placed on the fascia becomes greater with walking and running. Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis is multifaceted, including taping, insoles, strengthening exercises and supportive footwear. This article will provide recommendations on the best Asics Shoes For Plantar Fasciitis based on our experiences with patients in our clinics.

Asics Shoes For Plantar Fasciitis: Asics Gel Kayano
We recommend the Asics Gel-Kayano for those with moderate to severe symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis due to their high levels of cushioning, deep heel cup and stable midsole.
The Deep heel cup helps to control the ankle joint when making contact with the floor and alongside the medial arch support it helps to control excess pronation moments that are associated with the irritation of Plantar Fasciitis.
The stable midsole with midfoot support controls the foot through the running cycle to prevent over-stretching of the Plantar Fascia.
