Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Plantar fasciitis, difficult pack hunt in 3 weeks, advice sought

I do the same tedhorn.. Powersteps in every pair of shoes/boots I own. They last a long time and normally out last the shoes and I just move them to a different pair.

Another thing I do is after sleeping overnight I never stand up right away when getting out of bed. I always roll out of bed on to one knee, then place the other foot on the floor, then place my elbow on that knee and put some light weight on the foot, then do the other foot some, swap back and forth and increasing the weight place on the foot. I repeat on each foot about 3 or 4 times to stretch out that tendon/foot some before standing. That way it has less chance of damage. I've done this for nearly 20 years now and I have minimal problems now.... yes it is a PIA but not nearly the pain of my plantar fasciitis tear, it only takes about 90 seconds or so... beside it gives me a good opportunity to pray about the day I fixin to start.

Be Safe,
