Treehogs comfy on me from day one, not dear, but you have a specific injury so extra silicon heel guards? K

Was going to say exact same. My ankle was was a pylon fracture. Multiple breaks. Treehogs are comfy to walk/work in all day.

 

Maybe a heel insert....
I'd considered it, but my heel isn't bad, my under foot is. Tendon inflamed and sore when I've tried insoles.

Mark I had PF for nearly a year - had to cancel four people doing the West Highland Way because of it.

 

What helped more than any insoles, boots etc were the stretches, icing the foot and gel heel pads inserted into my existing footwear.  Also never walk barefoot; thick soled slippers in the house all the time.

Can you look up foot solutions Mark? They measure the way you walk first then make an orthotic insert for your boots. You have to use them in all your footwear and you probably will have to go up a shoe size too. I had chronic back pain all because of foot problems. They’re not cheap at around 150 for a pair, but pain is gone.
