I cured mine by wearing proper running shoes with support for my arch and heel, haven't had a problem since. I do still get the occasional day where I'm a bit sore but I'm walking a lot more these days.
RonAsheton-
I've consistently worn lace-up boots since 1982 and have a very high instep. The specialist said I wouldn't be able to get my foot in a boot with the orthotics I would need to use. I did have gel heel insert for a while but they seemed to make it worse. Standing with the balls of my feet on the stairs and letting my heels go as low as I could seemed to help. Every step or kerb stone I was by and I was stretching the achilles.

Welcome to the plantar fasciitis gang. I suffered with this for about 4 years from 2005 and it's also called "policeman's heel". It would become tolerable until the annual fitness test shuttle run would fuck it up again. I haven't noticed it since 2010 but now the other foot is suffering with it. Back in 05 I went to see, who I was told was "the expert" and he said do the exercises and live it. There was an operation for it but he said the outcome is not always better.
