Plantar fasciitis is a common condition affecting walkers. Symptoms include heel pain which may be localized under the heel but may also radiate into the foot. It is usually worse first thing in the morning then gets better as the foot warms up but them may come on again worse later in the day or on a long walk.

“The plantar fasciitis night splint is one of the most effective treatments we have found” says Mike Walden of specialist sports medical retailer Return2fitness.co.uk. It may look a bit heavy duty but worn overnight it helps prevent the plantar fascia under the foot from tightening up and causing that familiar morning heel pain.
