Coke bottle? Really? I can't get past the mental picture of picking shards of glass out of my feet. Take your spiked boots off and lay the bottle on a piece of carpet. Them old Coke bottles are pretty dang tough. It ain't like in the movies , where they break a bottle over someone's head. You get hit with a coke bottle, you're going DOWN. Charlie

Get an old fashioned glass Coke bottle, and roll it back and forth under your instep, while applying moderate down-pressure. I always suggest filling a plastic 20-oz Coke bottle with water, then freezing. The bottle's characteristic convexity more gently stretches, and you benefit from the cryogenic effects.

Rolling objects like tennis balls, golf balls and coke bottles under the foot seems like a temporary solution at best.
Eh...wot?

Though not the solution, it's ancillary, and an effective way to stretch that tough fascia. It's like stretching a wet leather strap over a barrel vs. a table. Recall how tough coon or chicken fascia is as it wraps bone, muscle, and all manner of soft tissue.

Red wings are a joke. I bought some that didn't have arch support. You need good arch support. My doc told me to buy merrel Moab. I do feel your pain. Are those boots any good when mig welding ....or are they just a sneaker ?

My brother went through this a few years ago. Turned out he had bone spurs on his heel. Which in turn was chewing away on the plantar fasciitis. Had to have them ground off before he got any relief. Good luck

My brother went through this a few years ago. Turned out he had bone spurs on his heel. Which in turn was chewing away on the plantar fasciitis. Prolonged, excessive tension of the plantar fascia, through aggressive stretching or abuse, can cause remodeling of its attachment to the heel bone, distorting it and creating a calcium-rich spur, and is the reason I emphasize "gentle" when describing exercises. A perfect storm scenario would involve an overweight, diabetic smoker who works all day on concrete in cheap, unsupported boots, then comes home and aggressively heel drops off stairs to "stretch." As far as the Moabs go, I liked their arch support but the uppers weren't durable enough. I returned mine when they started pulling apart the first week.

Who has this and what was the cause? I have heel pain across the bottom of both heels. I am calling the doc today to get an appointment. From what I have been reading, plantar facitis does not fit the symptoms. Bending toes does not cause pain, which comes with weight bearing only. The only thing I know, is that it makes for some miserable days at work! I finally found some relief from my back pain, by getting facet joint injections, and now my running gear starts in. Find the right Podiatrist... My first Podiatrist made a pair of orthotic inserts for me. Pretty much, that was it, it didn't do much for me. My second Podiatrist, told me when I left her office I would feel better. I got a cortisone shot right in the heel. She was right I felt much better. Then she followed up with physical therapy, the boot Lugnut commented on, exercises, ice and follow up. That was something like 15 years ago, I haven't had any problems since. Note: I told my physical therapist, I always thought a foot massage would feel good, it was brutal! She told me I should have said something...

Laid them on the floor and rolled my foot back and forth on them, massage and icing at the same time. After work, it felt good... part of physical therapy/exercise at home.

Merrel Moab are a sneaker type shoe. I tried 3 different brands of work boots. Red wing was one of those brands. I do a lot of walking and climbing ladders. These Merrel don't last very long but they don't cause pain like those work boots did.
