Review: Consistent and useful advice - I have Plantar Fasciitis (say "PLAN-ter fash-ee-EYE-tus") for a couple of years now and this book has some consistent and useful advice that is very practical. Although it is the most common form of foot pain it take very long to heal in some instances (6-18 months). This is why I bought the book. It advises you about healing by using proper arch support, never walking barefoot, taping, stretches, massage and occasionally icing and heat...Good stuff! I felt better after a couple weeks following the advice. This problem is only a chapter in the book. There are several foot issues (many that are ailments of athletes) and advice on healing. definitely worth the price and time to read.
Review: Full of good information - Plantar fasciitis laid me up for 6 weeks before I bought this book. I am skeptical about "cures in a book". What I found here is a compilation of common sense and collective knowledge regarding the health of your feet. For a runner, foot health is critical. Having read the criticism of this book, I still ordered it. To me searching the web and tying to separate the solid info from the "stuff" is not for me. I am not willing to experiment on myself to save a buck. The author answered questions I had not thought to ask and I would never have found that information on my own. The info in this book has been vetted by the author and his sources. It has helped me establish a plan that has got me running again and that is worth a great deal to me. The bottom line is that I found it useful for more than my PF. If you're looking for an instant cure, it doesn't exist. If you're looking for information and a number of suggestions for both prevention and cure, this book is worth considering. I am back to running with only an echo of the pain that kept me out of my running shoes for over three horrible months. I walk normally now and am able to run to recover a great deal of my condition.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book with loads of information
*by K***T on March 28, 2016*

Excellent book with loads of information. I am a long distance hiker and I have sweaty feet that easily get blisters. I learned so many things from this book that allowed me to manage all my foot problems to the point that I thru-hiked the 2600 mile PCT without a single blister!!! I've learned to manage blisters, taping my feet like pro, get rid plantar fasciitis and athlete's foot over the last few years all thanks to the knowledge I've gained from this book. Obviously if you have a serious foot problem go see a doctor. But if you use your feet hard and want to know all the tools to try to help your feet, then this is the ultimate resource.
