Plantar Faciitis is a painful condition caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia – a thick ligament along the arch of your foot which supports you weight when standing. It may be caused by over-pronation or incorrect footwear, and is more commonly found in athletes than in those who don’t exercise regularly.

If you are suffering from Plantar Faciitis, this simple advice can help you decide which Hoka One shoe is right for you.

So What Type of Foot Is Yours?

If you want to wear a shoe that will give the best support for your foot and won’t rub it raw then the Hoka One Stability is a great choice. If your foot is more suited to a more flexible, low profile shoe then the Bondi 5 would be best for you. All three shoes are very well cushioned and have an excellent amount of cushioning in the heel so they provide comfort even after long periods of use.

If you have flat feet then the Hoka One Speed or the Hoka One Glove are both excellent shoes. This shoe is great because it works on a wide variety of foot shapes and can be worn by people who need more support in the forefoot or in the heel, which can come in handy for those who suffer from recurring injuries.

What Type of Foot Are You

It’s probably important to know what type of shoe will work for your foot if you’re going to make a purchase that you know will help improve your condition.

If your foot is overpronated then these three shoes would all work well. If you have an average foot that goes flat at the heel then choose between the Speed or Glove because they will suit your foot shape best. If you overpronate in the forefoot, then the Glove is your best bet.

The Hoka Max is narrower than the other three shoes so if your feet are not very wide, then this is a perfect shoe for you. The Challenger ATR and Bondi 5 are pretty standard width shoes so they would work well for everyone.

If it’s more important that you have some arch support in your shoe, then choose from either the Speed or Hoka One Glove as these two will give you that extra support in the midsole of your shoe. If you don’t really have a need for arch support then the Bondi 5 and Hoka One Max will work well for you.

HokaOne understands the importance of proper arch support when it comes to relieving Plantar Fasciitis and heel pain so we created our unique midsole technology to help make walking or running more comfortable.

If you are in need of a new pair of shoes and Plantar Fasciitis is preventing you from enjoying your usual exercise routine, choose any of these three Hoka One shoes. You won’t regret your choice.
