I have suffered from PF for over 30 years.

Besides gently stretching my calves every chance I get (typically by using a curb)...I also taught my kids how to 'karate chop' my calves.

Although they used to roll their eyes when I needed it and asked them to do it...it was one of the best feelings in the world.


I have also owned and wear almost every day...a pair of New Balance '990 series' for over 30+ years.

On the 30th anniversary of the shoe in 2012, the New York Times reported, "The 990 has a cult following: according to New Balance officials, it was favored by Steve Jobs, and has also been worn by the actors Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and Hilary Duff.[1] Forbes, BBC and other media also reported how Jobs wore the shoes frequently.

With the last few pairs of NB's, I've also purchased a set of inserts (and even added the soft/stick-on arch) from Tri-County Podiatry...with good results.
