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.

I broke my ankle rather badly a few years ago and my "tracking" is out 🙂 I find these boots really comfortable and they are available in a few different widths as well.

As above- those with some insoles were great for me.
