4. Loose footwear
On the other hand, or on the other foot may be, loose-fitting footwear can cause plantar fasciitis to develop. Shoes that are too big rub against the heel of the foot, causing friction. With friction there is heat and with heat there is inflammation. We know by now that plantar fasciitis is a type of inflammation and so any loose-fitting footwear that is worn for an extended period of time, from slippers to wellington boots, can be a culprit for causing plantar fasciitis.
Our feet swell in hot weather, which is perhaps one reason why people might choose to go for a pair of shoes that are too big. The trade-off for this is that rubbing can occur, particularly whilst running. This causes a double-pronged attack on a person’s heel, from the ground beneath it and the flapping shoe right next to it. Ditch the clown shoes.
