They told you to get orthopedic insoles, and what you need is…

Do you feel pain in the sole of your foot as soon as you get up?

Do you feel like you're stepping on invisible glass shards?

Then you're experiencing that damn plantar fasciitis firsthand.

Yes, I said “damn.”

Because it is.

Look, if you have plantar fasciitis and you're following the traditional treatment they gave you (ice, rest, ibuprofen, and insoles), I'm sorry to say you're taking the long… and rocky road.

The one many have walked before you and leads nowhere.

Why?

Because that's just putting a patch where the foundations need rebuilding.

Because the problem isn’t the pain… which it is, but tackling the cause.

Most professionals only treat the symptom.

They say “wear insoles” like it’s a magic wand.

And hey, I’m not saying they don’t help at specific times.

But that’s not healing.

That’s covering up.

And you don’t need patches.

You need a full reform of your feet.

So what do I do?

Start by freeing your feet.

At home go barefoot, and outdoors wear barefoot shoes.

This eliminates the factors that deform and misalign your toes.

If your big toe is turning, work it so it regains alignment. It’s often the main cause of your damn fasciitis.

Second, put your feet to work.

Make your toes spread.

Let your feet breathe, move, feel.

Go barefoot wherever you can.

And if you need insoles during recovery, only use them inside barefoot shoes.

Everything else makes no sense.

That’s just how it is.

Right.

One model that stylishly slaps plantar fasciitis in the face is the Xero Dillon Canvas.

They have 8 mm of sole.

So your feet feel the ground while still protected.

Flexible, flat, no weird reinforcements or tight toe boxes.

So roomy your toes could play piano inside.

Just what your fasciitis is screaming for.

Here they are: Xero Dillon Canvas for Women and for Men

Put them on.

Walk.

Feel.

And start changing the dark story of your feet.

Because your feet aren’t broken.

They just need space, movement, and time.

And that doesn’t come from an insole, it comes from barefoot.

Efectiviwonder.

Health starts with your feet.
