Signed up for a 5K three months ago and of course my plantar fasciitis flared up two weeks before. My podiatrist said light activity was fine as long as I managed the pain. Applied one of these patches the morning of the race along the heel and wrapped it under the arch like the instructions say - stayed on the whole time, no shifting at all. Felt noticeably less discomfort during the run compared to going without anything. I could only get about 8 hours of relief before it started fading, but honestly that's enough for most situations. Good product, keeps the pain manageable without popping ibuprofen all day.
I've had plantar fasciitis in my right foot for almost two years. Tried the night splints, the special insoles, stretching routines - all of it. These patches aren't a cure obviously but they've made my mornings so much more manageable. I apply one before bed along the arch and by the time I get up that first step isn't excruciating anymore. The patch stayed put all night, didn't bunch up or peel off.Would recommend to anyone who knows what that first-step-in-the-morning pain feels like.
