Question, has anyone gone through similar experience, i am on 9 months of pf in my left foot, recent MRI shows small tear. I have been wearing Hoka Bondi 9 which helped from the beginning but now i think they are holding me back so i bought ALTRA Men's Escalante 4 wide toe box. I am already doing tons of other things, lost 20lbs, PT weekly, daily stretching and strength. Is it a good idea to switch shoes now considering the small tear?

I’m not a doctor, but my thinking is that if it isn’t causing more pain, you’re not re-injuring it or otherwise over doing it. Lower drop shoes, like altras, will help strengthen the feet compared to cushiony, higher drop types like Hokas, so I would think that this switch would be good as long as your foot is ready for it.

The people who use tape to relieve from PF, which brand would you recommend?

I was buying at target , now I have discovered / the dollar store is as good as the name brand . I was taking my foot for about $2 dlrs . A day and now it’s less expensive.

I also posted a video on how I tape and what worked for me. I have high arches and had a tear… taping gives me a lot of support!
