Running Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis

If plantar fasciitis is making running hard, cushioning and room for your foot tend to matter most. These are Altra's most cushioned road shoes, several with the APMA Seal of Acceptance, plus GuideRail support on the Paradigm 8 Wide and Experience Flow ST.

New to Altra? Most of these are zero drop, which works your calves and Achilles more than a traditional shoe, so ease in. The FWD Via 2 and Experience Flow models have a low 4 mm drop. Always check with your podiatrist.

If you're dealing with plantar fasciitis, the two features that tend to feel most comfortable are cushioning under the arch and heel and a toe box that lets your foot splay instead of being squeezed. Every Altra is built on a FootShape™ toe box, and most on a balanced Zero Drop platform, where your heel and forefoot sit at the same height.

The shoes below are our most cushioned, foot-shaped options across road and recovery. They're not a medical device, but plenty of Aussie runners use them as everyday rotation pieces alongside their rehab routine.
