Plantar Fasciitis
high matchNamed directly by a board-certified podiatric surgeon (Dr. Tom Biernacki, DPM) as the most consistently podiatrist-recommended men's dress shoe for plantar fasciitis, citing its FLUIDFORM cushioned sole and removable insole with room for a slim custom orthotic. Editorial-expert tier. Note: a previously-cited 4mm heel drop figure could not be independently verified on ECCO's own product pages and has been removed from this record rather than presented as manufacturer-confirmed.
