I have a new condition in my foot called Plantar Faciitis.
It comes from poor running habits and my insistence on wearing chappals with poor sole support apparently.
For males, plantar fasciitis becomes more common before and during their 30s and decreases afterward. Engaging in heavy physical activities such as marathons, football or basketball are considered major causes.
So I have two options – either go with a arch supported shoe or buy socks with padding support to wear them with my sandals.
Painful.
Sorry for you…praying you recover fast…
Given your penchant for walking significant distances, I’d recommend you get a nice pair of sneakers. Many more years and miles to go …
Man, this sucks. Wishing you speedy recovery.
I struggled with it for a couple of years. I switched to a lower drop running shoe (4mm), focused on calf stretching and worked on my gait, from a heel strike to a mid foot strike. Also got some Orthaheel sandals which helped after running. Check ’em out.
Now I understood why we don’t see the chappal now a days on any of the pics posted on FB 😛
Just curious, with Ginsu knives story telling session, is the shoe coming up to the hand like the chappal 😀
Happy recovering !!
