Planter Fascia which runs at the bottom of the foot works best with proper arch in the foot.Overstretching tearing or inflammation causes intense pain in the heel .Resting provides only temporary relief.
Stylish but pointed toes squeeze the entire front of the foot-eventually causing nerve pain,bunion,blisters and hammertoes.
