Hands down house favorite, the Taos Crave can bring a customer to tears of joy with its healing powers.

For a lower heel with support and polish, we carry many Dansko models like the Beatrice that carry the APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association) seal of acceptance.
Clocking Your Time or Clocking In For Your Shift
Talk to a Physical Therapist about running with Plantar Fasciitis and you'll hear the words Hoka One One Bondi. Not just for runners anymore, the Bondi is often part of Plantar Fasciitis recovery for medical workers, restaurant staff, hair stylists and teachers. When your shift is long, the Bondi keeps you strong. Until you have pain under control, an athletic shoe may be your best work shoe for plantar fasciitis.
In-stock Bondi color varies by season.
Hiking Boots to Wear Trail and Town
Everything that makes a hiking boot good for an active day on your feet also makes it a great choice for your everyday footwear. We see so many customers pulling double duty with hikers that fit the bill for office casual. Athleisure has turned sport style into everyday style making the hiking boot an appropriate look at a client meeting or a fireside meetup with friends.
Oboz, a little known brand with the best fit on the market introduced the Bozemen this fall, a waterproof urban hiker for men and women.
The Oboz waterproof hiking boots can be worn for just about any outdoor weather activity, have a mountain flair and provide orthortc quality support. Phyllis, a loyal local recovering from Plantar Fasciitis, recently added the women's Oboz Sawtooth II to her winter quiver. "I love to walk my dog and I know that making smart choices in footwear will keep me on my game." Wise words!
Snappy Sneakers for the Win
If your style is more about athleisure - and whose isn't now that sneaker style is the hottest trend - then you'll want to explore our favorite athletic casuals from Taos. A match for men and women of any age, any style.
Never Go Barefoot - Slippers for Plantar Fasciitis Recovery
One rule to live by - never go barefoot, even around the house, and always choose footwear that supports your arch. Everytime you allow your foot to take a step without arch support, you invite a flare up. Slippers for Plantar Fasciitis from Taos and Haflinger are just the happy home your foot needs on a chilly winter day.
The Taos Convertawool is a house (or patio or mailbox) shoe with incredible arch support. The slip-on design with an elevated back feels cozy and secure. Its rubber bottom also makes it the perfect indoor/outdoor wool clog.
Orthotics Help to Heal that Heel
Our FIT EXPERTS believe that you don't have to buy new shoes or spend a lot of money to combat Plantar Fasciitis. Purchasing a quality orthotic like Superfeet can turn your tried and true favorite shoe into a foot healthy option. If orthotics are new to you, read our blog post to learn how orthotics can improve your foot health!
Orthotics + Blundstone is a best selling Vermonty combination. Is there anywhere that it's not appropriate to wear a Blundstone? The Blundstone option is a great work or dress shoe for men with plantar issues.
Orthotics can also solve another common quandary for Vermonters with Plantar Fasciitis. What to wear for a true snow boot? Any snow boot that has a removable footbed can be transformed into a warm, dry and arch supportive cold weather boot.
Add a Superfeet orthotic to a pair of Uggs and you have a warm, foot-healthy winter boot.
