The 10 Best Men's Running Shoes For Plantar Fasciitis

The Brooks Ghost 10 (about $84) boast a soft heel that cushions every impact. They're ideal for joggers who land on the backs of their feet rather than the midsoles, as they absorb the collision and push your weight forward, while the sides offer plenty of support to keep you upright.

The Altra Torin 3.0 (around $78) do an excellent job of mimicking your feet, with a foot-shaped toe box and an outsole that maps your bones and tendons. They're about as close as you can come to natural, barefoot running while still wearing shoes.

The PWRGRID+ cushioning on the Saucony Redeemer ISO (around $108) delivers multiple layers of protection from pebbles, debris, or just the harshness of the asphalt. There's extra support under the medial midfoot area, stabilizing your arch while adding minimal bulk.

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 34 (appx. $72) function like a second skin due to the Fitsole sockliner, which conforms to your foot. This means they have less padding than some other options, nevertheless the Cushion ST foam does a good job of sheltering your feet from bumps.

With an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, the Saucony Omni 14 (about $99) represent a good compromise between minimalist pairs and those with a plush cocoon of padding. Speaking of cushioning, the SRC Crash Pad eases the torque on your heel, pushing you smoothly onto your forefoot.

Overpronation is one of the factors that can exacerbate plantar fasciitis, and the Brooks Beast '18 (appx. $160) help combat this by building up the padding on the inside to force you over the center of your arch. As a result, they're a smart choice for those with flat feet.

The Reebok Print 2.0 (around $79) sport a removable insole, making it possible for you to pop in your custom-made orthotics without cramping your feet. The design is pretty no-nonsense, so if you're not a fan of bright, flashy footwear, these will hardly draw attention to themselves.

The Asics Gel-Kayano 24 (appx. $104) use something called Impact Guidance System technology, which encourages you to walk with a natural gait, so regardless of whether you pronate or supinate, these should keep your feet in the proper position during every step.

The asymmetric toe overlay on the Altra One 2.5 (appx. $100) makes them as suitable for a night out as they are for a day on the road. The ZeroDrop platform has no heel-to-toe offset, so minimalist runners should give them a shot to build up the musculature in their feet.

The Hoka One One Arahi (around $291) stand out regardless of where you wear them, and the variety of vivid colors lets you pick whichever best suits your personality. They feel as good as they look, thanks to the meta-rocker that rolls your weight forward on every foot strike.
