Hoka Bondis have helped me and at least four of my friends recover from plantar fasciitis. In general any shoe with a higher heel toe drop is going to help, and lots of cushion. They are great for standing, and also for walking for a long time ( I walk in them 10+ miles a day and have never had plantar fasciitis return since starting to wear them). They also make a recovery slide, but so does Oofos, which I know some people prefer, depending on foot shape. I wear the recovery slides around the house and when I stand at my desk (and sometimes I walk a mile or two in them) and they are incredibly supportive and cushioned.

Hoka Bondis are what I had in the shopping cart! And Hokas were on the list from @AnneBeddingfeld. Sounds like those are the winners. Plus a pair of oofos recovery slippers (my feet get super cold around the house)

Oofa slides are how I cured mine. I wear wool socks with them in the winter.

A multivitamin that doesn’t suck or is a million dollars. Must be available in gummy form.

I used these heel cups in “barefoot” style shoes I had and they made a huge difference. For home I got some cheap canvas sneakers from Target. What helped me most was a nighttime brace that kept my PF stretched overnight!
Heel cups (this exact one! It has a little ridge that massages PF): Amazon.com
Brace (this general kind of thing but many available designs) : Amazon.com
ETA: my approach was very much to not over support the foot, but cushion inflamed areas while they healed. I generally believe building foot muscles > orthotics forever, if possible.

I have been dealing with this for just over a month, and I have found it helpful to switch shoes daily. So I have some runners with basic dr scholl orthotics, a new pair of runners, and then for inside shoes another random half heel cup thing. When I wore the same shoes three times in a row (because the others were taped behind plastic) I could tell my foot regressed.

I just tried a sample of this one at Costco the other day. It didn’t taste amazing? Which means it’s probably actually good for you?

Terrible. Hates it
This is the one I’m taking right now. So far it’s been about a week and I have not had any nausea or vomiting like I usually get when I try taking a vitamin.

Birkenstock Arizona EVAs and Taos Winner were good for PF relief for me. Or Sol insoles into regular shoes.
Once the pain subsides a bit with rest and scraping/massage (I know this is hard to come by), strengthening calves and ankles will help prevent recurrence. A couple very short videos for this are https://youtu.be/RuXmy7_dRW0 (PT style)
and https://youtu.be/A270eFLtzX4?si=RMPmSqt9aKwTWG9o (perky dance style, maybe the girls will do with you?)

I’m absolutely sure this has been discussed, but any tips on choosing an induction stove?
I’d like a convection option for the oven, possibly controls on the front of the stove, and ??? I don’t know if I have any other criteria. Maybe a storage drawer underneath, but I don’t NEED that, I’m just used to it.

I’m very partial to my burner timer, but again, thats a nice to have, and I mostly use it for caring for my cast iron, and not as much for cooking.
You also get to decide between traditional knobs and button controls. The buttons are slightly annoying, and you have to teach everyone who tries to use your stove, but maybe enable the burner timer. Overall I’d say the knobs are the better choice, but idk how much extra I’d pay for them.

I thiiiiiink they all have convection for the oven.
I paid an extra ~$500 for knobs instead of buttons and I love them, but Massachusetts had a $500 rebate so that helped a lot

Having lived with both top buttons and front knobs, I philosophically support knobs on front but realized that either one is fine for me day to day.
I didn’t realize that my induction stove (Fisher & Paykel) would have an oven fan that runs at least 15-20 minutes after you turn the oven off. It’s medium loud and very annoying. I don’t know what alternatives there are, but skip this if you can.

Mine also does that and it seems to be linked to how hot the oven is? If I leave the oven door cracked it’s way faster to turn off

I mostly want front controls because my kids are old enough to start learning how to use the stove (eggs, quesadillas, etc.) and I don’t want them to have to reach their little arms/bodies across hot pans to turn things on and off. We currently have front knobs for burners and back buttons for the oven, and they’re old enough to not accidentally turn things on (thankfully).
Our stove is induction now, and I don’t think the fan runs after we turn the oven off. Maybe I’ve never noticed?
We have a $350 rebate through our utility company, which is better than nothing! I’m trying to get this moving in case that goes away 
I assume it’s not directly tied to other federal subsidies that are expiring next week, but who knows.

My electric (non induction) oven also has a fan that runs until the oven is cooler. I hate it but cracking the oven open helps it stop faster.
My induction stove top is separate from my oven and has top touch controls. They don’t work if you have boiled water over the pot and covered the controls in water which is exactly when you need to turn down the temperature the fastest 
. So I would love front knobs personally.

we got fisher and paykel, partially because it has knobs, and partially because we were very familiar with the brand since the shadowy one’s family has the full range of appliances from them
the storage drawers underneath seem to be an uncommon offering these days.
