Going barefoot on hard floors is one of the worst things you can do for plantar fasciitis. The right slippers for plantar fasciitis provide the arch support your foot needs the moment you step out of bed — which is exactly when the fascia is most vulnerable. We tested the Vionic Relax II over 6 weeks of daily home use.
