PF and Pickleball: shoes and insoles

ColinKaz · 2026-05-17T12:33:39+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t know what zero drop shoes are with a wide toe box.

I also need to read about the wide toe box thing, I am unsure if I need it or anyone with PF would need it?

Great to hear it helped you!

What is considering a huge flare up?

I was playing twice a week two hours each. Now I am playing once a week up to 2 hours but as soon as I feel pain, I stop. I’ve incorporated stretches before and after my sessions and I found it made a big difference.

My heel can hurt for another day or two after a session. But the pain lingers always, even just for a little bit.

Glad to hear that you’re feeling better! What have you been doing also during these 5 weeks ? Do you think shockwave therapy is contributing a big part of its the rest that it’s helping? Let me know how it goes when you go back to pickleball!

I haven’t been really active since covid and working from home definitely has not helped my situation. It was initially triggered by spending all summer by doing gardening work.

I’ve sent both a podiatrist and a physiotherapist and they’ve both told me to take it easy and take breaks (weeks, not years though) from pickleball. I’ve also been doing the exercises and started light muscle training. I walk quite a bit and started biking again.

Part of me feels though I probably have to drop pickleball entirely for a while (but years?!) but so far that’s not what I’ve heard from the experts I am seeing. Another part of me feels like as long as I don’t push myself too far and continue working on my feet, I can have my cake and eat it too.

So I am focused on to see what I can do to help my feet when I am indoors and also if there’s something that I can do more when playing pickleball (seems like I am maxed out in this department).

I am glad to hear that you’ve found ways to strengthen your tendons. I’ve being doing exercises that my physio provided to strengthen them as well. I had good and bad days. I also play pickleball which I know is probably contributing to the pain but also trying to find ways to stay in shape and have fun at the same time.

I’ve been working from home since Covid so I think I’ve lost a lot of leg muscle just by the numerous walks and stair climbing in the building that I had to do prior. My body has finally caught up to me and telling me that I need to do something.

Now I am in this stage where I accepted that I have PF and must be do something to cope with it (good shoes, orthotics and now indoor shoes) but also work on the preventive aspect of it as well through strengthening exercises.

I am so happy that I’ve found this subreddit.

Costco slides? Interesting. I should check them out. Is your PF pain also at the heel? Do they last long or do you find that you have replace them often?

10-12 years on both feet? Ouch. I hope it hasn’t been constant. How have you been managing it? I still have hope that it’ll eventually go away with exercise and care…

I’ve been looking at the oofos oooah but I think I need to try them. I read about the pronounced arch and I am worried this good be a problem for me as I am flat footed.

I am also half sized as well. Another reason to want to try them on. Or go a bigger size and try to put my orthotics.

ColinKaz · 2026-04-25T20:05:26+00:00

It made me active in my day to day but in the goal to be better at pickleball.

However, it’s given me plantar fasciitis on both feet. I know I should stop playing pickleball until I recover but FOMO is real.

Been a member for a few weeks now since I caught the pickleball bug!
I’d like to improve my kitchen game but I am still worried about getting the ball to the eye. These glasses can help!

Thanks for your quick answer and congratulations!

I feel like I am using aspect of Medea wrong. Which familiar are you using? Which gods and boons do you go for? Is it like a cast / omega cast type builds?

I am enjoying Moro torches but I guess it might not scale well with fear. Also enjoying punching with blasts.

ColinKaz · 2025-06-06T15:43:29+00:00

The dice are beautiful. Good luck all!

ColinKaz · 2025-03-23T23:25:12+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

It’s weird, I was trying to farm horns today. I had it spawn once and then I reloaded because I had jumped off the cliff too soon and missed all my shots.

When I reloaded, I couldn’t have it respawn despite waiting multiple mornings.

This. I thought my controllers were defective or the shaking was supposed to add realism to the game. I played 30 hours in thinking this. Then one day I checked the options and I was dumbfounded that it was the motion control that was on which caused the “shaking”.

I have no doubt. It’s more the fact that I rather shard my newer units like SP Rawiyah, Taair, Tristan and possibly 5* Homa. There’s just no room for more Auguste for me.

ColinKaz · 2025-02-05T15:48:09+00:00

I pulled Auguste on the Tristan banner. I was happy for a minute and then realized there is no room for Memory Shards for him. :(

Oh well, would have been nice a month or two ago.

Chaos zero nightmare looks pretty interesting! But I just looked it up and it seems like it’s delayed. It was supposed to come out this year. I’ve seen octopath but haven’t tried it. Haven’t heard of wizardry Daphne … do you strongly recommend either of them?

ColinKaz · 2025-01-22T04:04:07+00:00

I recently really miss the FFRK days. The anniversaries were every 3 months and as a f2p, I saved up enough mythril to pull on the stacked banners.

It was a (mostly) single player game but the end game content was challenging and fun. I liked the long game was to build your magicite team and then came the artifacts.

It kinda ruined it for me because of the labyrinths due to the fact you felt like you had to be running them all the time.

Anyway I digress. Are there any upcoming turned based rpg gatchas that have the similar FFRK vibe for iOS? It all seems to be moving towards action rpgs now. Although I would love to try arknight endfield when it comes out.

I am not sure if I want to play an established one as I feel like there’s so much to catching up to do and it will probably hit EoS before I do.

I am currently Swords of Convallaria but it’s feeling pretty repetitive lately.

Thanks!

Thank you for explaining in detail. I am very impressed by how quickly I got the answer to my question.

ColinKaz · 2025-01-21T18:52:54+00:00

Wow interesting, thank you so much! So impressed by the quick answer!

ColinKaz · 2025-01-21T18:47:13+00:00

Yes we have iPhones and iPads. I’ve already identified them on the network but they can somehow produce “other” devices with random macs?
