Like Deschodt, I had plantar fasciatis several years back. I had a few cortisone injections that really helped, and my first podiatrist recommended the green Superfeet insoles. I used them for 6 months, but didn't really help. I then got additional injections, and did the custom orthotics for both my running shoes and casual. They ran about $600 but really saved my feet. Keeping that calf muscle stretched is super key, and I also have several rolling devices that I use: lacrosse ball, rubz, and a couple others that were game changers for me. Not sure if you have a Road Runner sports, but they make the cheap custom insoles where they heat up them up and make you stand on a special squooshy platform... since all that, my plantar fasciatis has not returned. Your running shoes make a difference, depending on how much pronate - best to have an analysis done for the right shoe. I've always used the Kayanos for maxium support for my style, but have gone to using a minimus shoe - which is crazy considering what I went through, but as long as I keep my calfs and plantar conditioned, I'm good.
