I had it in my right foot. Stupid me used to go without shoes on tile floor! But what helped me was always wearing a slanted shoe where the heel was higher. Orthotics - not those hard ones they make especially for you - but ones like Spenco help...and never, never, ever, go without shoes -even in the shower! That's why God developed Crocs! Good Luck.
I had it several times - initially used custom orthotics but it was hard to find shoes they fit in . I then started wearing Mephisto shoes and used their inserts in other shoes . As the other poster said - never go barefoot. I also bought a splint to wear at night that I still use for occasional flares : Vive Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint Plus Trigger Point Stretch Wedges
I would also recommend custom made orthodox. I have had plantar faciatis two or three times in years past. I went to PT two different times. The stretching they did was helpful but I finally went to a podiatrist and she gave me a prescription for orthodox, which have been a tremendous help. I am now on my second set of orthodix after wearing the first set for about five years. Unfortunately, insurance no longer covers them and this last pair cost $450 but they are worth it and will last a long time. I also bought very supportive sneakers made by Asics. Since getting the first pair of orthodox, I have not had a problem. Wishing you all the best. I know how painful PF can be!

It's great!!
I've had cheilectomy and swear by Hoka Bondi to walk in, Hoka slides for in house ( shower)
Alegria shoes for " dress up" excellent innersoles, almost like Birkenstock , they mold to feet..
Good luck!
After being plagued with occasional plantar fasciitis, I began a simple podiatrist-suggested exercise that resolved a current episode and has prevented future ones. Standing securely with both feet on a step, but with only toes of affected foot on the step and the rest of affected foot hanging over, I gently press down on the part hanging over until I feel pressure in heel and calf, then hold for 30 seconds and repeat.
