As someone with a recurring bout of plantar fasciitis, I know that a walking shoe with firm support can do wonders for reducing my pain. However, most arch support shoes I’ve tried lack the necessary comfort, shock absorption, and cushion I crave. When it comes to stability and comfort, podiatrists regularly recommend New Balance’s Fresh Foam walking and running shoes—especially for those with plantar fasciitis. ), I decided to give the pair a try, and I was shocked that after just a few weeks of adding it into my walking shoe rotation, my plantar fasciitis started to fade. This dual-density ride is ideal for those with plantar fasciitis, weak ankles, or overpronators.
