@kmakm am surprised about Crocs as wouldn’t have thought supportive enough. I wear ASICS which formerly have been wonderful but have needed to put orthotics in them to alleviate the pain.
Am using the Revitive each morning and seems better but only until afternoon then am doing stretches as per suggestions above and on goes the Birkis.Touch wood foot/ heel pain not as bad as it has been but still present as gather time is the healer like with tennis/golfers elbow.
Am still interested in reason for all soft tissue injuries and don’t reckon is just ageing as happening too close together.However grateful for any interventions medical/ mechanical/pharmaceutical that mitigate discomfort.
