If you're looking for the best shoes for plantar fasciitis then you should be searching for a few crucial things.
Firstly, any shoes you buy should have a large amount of cushioning around the heel area as this is the main area where you will feel pain. You're basically trying to protect the plantar fascia from being injured which will result in foot pain. You should also make sure that shoes provide proper protection for the ball area of your foot as well as the mid-sole. Athletes in particular are prone to getting foot problems including plantar fasciitis because of the amount of strain put on the foot area. It's often the case that an athlete hasn't purchased properly fitting shoes to deal with plantar fasciitis and with the extra strain from all these activities simply aggravate the condition.

I mentioned earlier that the heel and ball area of your foot should be properly protected. I would also recommend that the arch area of your feet receives proper support. For those of you out there looking for dress shoes for plantar fasciitis you may be better to look at shoe inserts which slip inside the sole of your shoe and provide protection that way. I can appreciate that a lot of the shoes out there are quite ugly so this is a great way to wear the shoes you want and still get some help with the condition.
