Get a pair of gdefy shoes and wear them everyday. I suffered for more than 2 years and tried everything listed in this thread.
Gdefy shoes worked and continue to work.
My doc recommended them.

I did the frozen water bottle standing on the bottom stair a few minutes every couple hours doing heal drops
the thing that helped me the most besides stretching , is not walking around the house in stocking feet
I get out of bed and I can wear my house shoes that are crocks for a little while like to hit the head and start the coffee then every day of the week good socks and good shoes inside and out side.
if it starts coming back switch shoes and go buy a new pair when you find the shoes that work for you you might buy a second pair to keep ready
Sadly your days of mountain climbing in flip flops might be over
when your looking for hot weather sea side footware Teva sandals are a place to start looking
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Never had PF but have had insertional Achilles tendinitis in both my feet. Ended up getting an Achilles’ tendon debridement in each foot. Had my last one in June 2022 and am stiffly under physical therapy for it. Hope yours get better id recommended going to a GOOD foot doctor and going from there
This is part of the reason I was medicated retired

I had it bad. Both feet. shots, then 30 days later shots again. Cleared it up. but the Doc had me start using these inserts. Haven't had a problem since. Been about 10 years now. Jerk the cheap inserts out of your shoes and put these in there. Put them in all your shoes. This is the amazon link, but I am able to get them at my local pharmacy for $28.00 a pair. https://www.amazon.com/Powerstep-Pi...&hvtargid=pla-382916365133&psc=1

I got those compression sleeves today and put them on. Doing a bunch of stretching exercises and for now got some Dr. Sholls insoles to tie me over. Next time I get into town I'll visit the folks that make and fit those arch support insoles and get myself a pair of boots of the lace up kind they can be fitted into. Thanks again for all the input getting me on the right track with this thing. And yes Garry you are right, those sleeves are tight. If it was not for your post I would have thought they are the wrong size. May need a can opener and a tyre iron to get it off later

I also got the boot....you use to pull your foot to a 90 degree angle ...while resting or sleeping.
But since I got the cortisone shot and those Foot Doctor Rigid arch supports....no more pain
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

And yes Garry you are right, those sleeves are tight. If it was not for your post I would have thought they are the wrong size. May need a can opener and a tyre iron to get it off later Scuba1... I found the easiest way to pull them on as far as they easily go... then start roll first the top and then from the toe end. then finish pulling from the top. Not easy, but dang then do make front feel better. I couldn't take a step without it killing me... then once I got them on and cheap insole, it is like night and day. They peel of pretty easy, grab the top and pull them down and off. I spent 4 or 5hours researching everything I could find out about what was going on with my foot and figured that is what it had to be and then went from there. No, I don't have a medical degree, but I lived with a very smart, good looking female orthopedic doctor for over a year. Plus my 149 I.Q. give me a little bit of leverage in figuring things out.

After a day of wearing that sleeve and not doing a bunch of walking, I can now move around without to much pain. ( a big improvement ) Going to make an appointment for this week to have some arch support things fitted. Before I do that, I have to go boot shopping. I guess that boots that lace up and are above the ankle are going to be what I should get. Something of decent quality that will last a while , so its worth putting those inserts in.

This is what I wear, 99% of the time. Get a pair of 'loggers'. Add arch supports as needed. Great ankle support, and good 'traction'. Charlie

Scuba, this is what I wear in every boot, shoe and sandal that I own. I use shoe-goo and glue the in the sandals. 25 years ago had Plantar Fascitious and tried everything from custom orthotics and I bought a pair of these and put them in my knee high rubber boots and ran my chainsaw for 5 straight hours at my shack and never looked back. The have a good arch support. Do not walk on hard surfaces with only socks or barefoot. Gary j https://www.amazon.com/POWERSTEP-PI...rgid=pla-370603015342&th=1&psc=1
