    My PF is much better since I've lost weight.

    My running shoe of choice is Saucony .. super cushy heels. The shoes sold here ( http://www.hokaoneone.eu/en/catalog.html ) are said to be amazing, but I haven't tried them (yet).

    I use an arc trainer/elliptical instead of a treadmill. The treadmill still hurts if I run.

    A shoe saleswoman said that strengthening your calf muscles helps.

    They aren't necessarily running shoes, but I live in Keens. When I first got PF, I was wearing Brooks for running and for work, but they absolutely killed me. Switched to Keens for work (took a year off running) and now I almost never have any problems.

    I now run in Vibram 5 Fingers, since after a horrific rugby ankle injury, they're the only thing that don't jam my foot in weird angles. But its all about what works for you. Get fitted and all that.

    Really depends on your feet..shoes fit differently for each person. Depending on what type of support you need will depend on which shoes will fit and feel better!
