My right foot (plantar fascia) hurts so bad I have to stop after around 3 miles, except for when I wear the kawana or Clifton. Both have a low heel to toe drop. Long story short, I ordered a pair of Bondi 8 yesterday.

I've thought about trying these. 12 hour shifts for years on concrete floors, mine hurt occasionally.

I see several wearing them at work, and I've wondered about them.

Well, I didn't get to go, I was bleeding too bad. No big deal... Long story.

Something I've figured out on my own, so not sure how scientific it is. I have an issue on my right foot and every once in awhile on my left. After about 2 miles it feels like my socks are balled up on the ball of my foot and it hurts like a sombiscuiteater.

What I've figured out is the lower the toe to heel drop, the longer I can run/Walk without that feeling and pain.

My On Flyers hurt the worst and they're 11mm.

The Kawana and Clifton 8 hardly ever cause a problem and they're both 5mm.

The reason I decided to try the Bondi 8 is they're 4mm. They're really plush and comfortable looking too. I can't wait to try them. Hopefully this afternoon.

The On Monsters are 6mm. My old ones are my favorites of all, but the new one hurt sometimes. Idk.

I like the On's better aesthetically, but the Hokas seem to work better for me.

Love my Topo’s. 5mm drop, but built up through the middle (I have high arches.)

The low drop seems to help avoid/ reduce plantar fasciitis and Achilles tenderness.

Yep, I think my right foot has a bad case of plantar Fascia.

Have you tried… ok, hoping to keep this out of the Other Thread… a cock-up brace at night? It keeps your foot pointed up at a 90° angle, so it’s continuously stretching your tendon and fascia. It’s 6-8 hours of gentle therapy while you’re asleep.

I’ve got PT in an hour. I’ll ask my therapist, aka The Torturer, for any brand recommendations.

@Behr per the PT, this probably isn’t plantar fasciitis, although one end of the fascia does attach at that end of your foot. I asked who would be good for helping you with this (podiatrist, chiro, primary care doc, etc.), and she recommended a podiatrist and PT. TIFWIW etc. Hope you find something that helps.

And “metatarsalgia” (foot bones that attach to toe bones + “alga” -pain, inflammation) is the term you might want to search on.

Yeah my gyno said I should see a podiatrist and recommended one, I just haven't.

I've spent more time on this than I care to admit to. Thanks. I was about to give in and go see a foot doc but now I'm gonna try a couple of things first. Imma see if these new Hokas help. If not, my next pair of runners will be "Wide".

On Hoka Bondi 8...

Some customers might find the HOKA ONE ONE Bondi 8 Mens Shoes too bulky or heavy, especially for fast or nimble training. For people with narrower feet, the wider toe box may lead to an uncomfortable fit. The shoe’s premium features and materials also come at a higher price point, which might not suit budget-conscious consumers.

One interesting (to me only) consequence of the wide toe box of the Topo is that I've developed calluses in different spots. My foot spreads out differently, I guess. I still believe that wide toe boxes are healthier for feet, Jimmy Choo and Leboutin be damned. There's a reason that foot binding was made illegal.
