Tobra- thanks!!!

I'm still heeling, oops healing from my first bout with it.
It started 6 months ago after a brisk 3 miles and less than 1K elevation gain hike. I was carrying a typical 15 lbs in a rucksac for a day hike and on the way down there's a stretch of big scree to cross on a down hill slope, I had one particular step on a bolder that lit up my left heel.
The pain levels come and go, rolling a tennis ball around with my sole helps and I'm doing some stretching. Gotta crank that up.

The pain is worst after I do an hour or more of walking, then sit down for 15 minutes then try to get up... yeowch!
It has gotten better.

I always wear good insoles, Superfeet blue's or Green are my go to.
My feet have very very loose ligaments according to a reputable foot dr I saw years ago and are flat as flat can be.

He cautioned me not to go barefoot at all if I could avoid it. I've taken to wearing Teva's inside, my feet love them.
