Verily, I do. Here is the deal on plantar fasciitis. Your body does its repair work at night. If you do more damage during day than you can fix while you sleep, it gets worse. You tend to tighten up in the calf and arch overnight, hence it tends to hurt in mornings. If you do nothing but the calf stretches, it probably gets better and goes away.

Replace your, with her in above quote.
Supports that I like are the Superfeet brand, with respect to the support they give you
green>blue>black, for the ladies I think they have purple ones. If you need to trim them to fit the shoe, use insole that came with shoe as a template, also, better to cut too long than to short on initial trimming, you can't cut them longer.
Do stretches three times a day, anti-inflammatories will help, ibuprofen 600-800 mg three times a day, alleve 2x220 mg tabs twice a day. Take anti-inflammatories with food.
Do not go to "The Good Feet Store" not so much that they have bad stuff, more that they charge obscenely high prices and will sell you a ton of crap you don't want or need.
It does not always hurt first thing in the morning, but that is typical. I don't like Nike products that much. Fairly certain I could find you someone local to you in Portland or Pedro, wherever you are now.
