Plantar Fasciitis causes heel pain that is mostly felt when you get up in the morning, which can be caused by excessive impact or stress on the feet.

Most individuals who work in occupations requiring tactical boots tend to be on their feet quite actively, to run, jump, and even climb, which may lead to Plantar Fasciitis.

Why Should You Choose Good Tactical Work Boots for Plantar Fasciitis

When you have Plantar Fasciitis, there are quite a few benefits in getting the right tactical work boots for Plantar Fasciitis;

  • No Pain – One of the best reasons to have comfortable and supportive tactical work boots for Plantar Fasciitis is to relieve pain. The work boots will absorb hard impacts, cushion your feet, and support them in such a way as to reduce pain and symptoms and aid in the healing process.
  • Better Productivity – When you have comfortable and supportive work boots and less pain and fatigue caused by strain on your feet, you can work harder and longer. You will have one less concern throughout your work day.
  • Work Long Hours on Tough Surfaces – Working long hours on hard surfaces on your feet places tremendous pressure on your feet, and the Plantar Fascia is the tendons at the bottom of your feet connecting the heel to the toes. Besides Plantar Fasciitis, the most common condition caused by hard impact on your feet, many other foot ailments, even back pain, knee pain, and hip pain, stem from working on hard floors. However, when your tactical work boots provide the right support features, you can easily work long hours on tough surfaces.
  • Avoid Surgeries – The last thing you want is to spend time away from work, having surgery for a condition such as Plantar Fasciitis. However, if you take care of your feet and invest in good shoes for Plantar Fasciitis, you can easily prevent the need for surgery or other medical treatments.

Why Do Some Tactical Work Boots hurt Your Feet?

When it comes to any shoe or work boot, it all boils down to support. Shoes and work boots that lack proper support for your feet will hurt them, causing them to ache and become tired, and in turn, cause pain in your joints, knees, hips, and even your back.

So what is support?

Support is divided into arch support to support the midsection of your feet to be aligned properly and disperse weight and impact evenly.

A contoured footbed design is ideal for supporting your arches.

Then, of course, you need cushioning, which also forms part of the support that absorbs impact and gives your feet a softer and more comfortable platform to rest on.

Many work boosts have hard and rigid soles that allow for little natural movement and offer no support or underfoot cushioning. Thus they can cause pain and issues such as Plantar Fasciitis.
