I have plantar fasciitis & need arch support. But I HATE shoes!!! Any suggestions?

Is there a way I can wrap my arch, heel & ankle up so I don't have to wear shoes all day?

What about the various arch supports at drug stores?

Which ones work the best & which are worthless?

I will NOT wear any shoe all day that "traps" my toes.

Are there good sandals out there with good support?

HELP!

It's not too bad yet & I don't want it to get too bad!

Oh boy...I have flat feet,and I too also hate wearing shoes,so I know exactly what you're talking about.

Here are some solutions:

- Tape your arches.To do this,place a strip of athletic tape around your heel that goes up the side of your foot on both sides until the end of your arch.Then,take strips of tape and tape your arch up...Start at one side of the foot and pull across so you feel the arch being pulled up.Do this for your entire arch.You don't need to go all around your foot,it just has to be high enough up on it to stay in place.
- For sandals,Birkenstocks are great shoes for arch support.Reefs,Rainbows,and Tevas are also pretty good.Even Crocs make sandals,or the regular ones are also good.
- In terms of arch supports...I've tried pretty much every type of drugstore brand,and the only ones that I found to be at all helpful were the Dr. Scholl's sport ones and Airplus insoles.Neither of these are too expensive,and they both help.
