HEEL PAIN - Plantar Fasciitis
Heel Pain / Arch Strain Support
Diagnosis-Designed Orthotics
Plantar fasciitis is an overuse injury where the plantar fascia (the thick band of tissue under the foot) becomes irritated and painful—often felt as sharp heel pain with the first steps in the morning or after rest. The MFO Plantar Fasciitis Device is a load modifier: it changes how force travels through your foot so the plantar fascia is pulled on less with each step, giving irritated tissue a better environment to calm down and recover.
Unlike generic insoles that mostly aim to “feel soft,” MFO devices are designed by diagnosis with functional intent. For plantar fasciitis, the goal is specific: reduce strain through the arch, cushion heel impact, and improve stability so every step is less provocative.
Recommended for:
• Plantar fasciitis (classic “first-step” heel pain)
• Heel pain from plantar fascia strain
• Arch strain linked to prolonged standing/walking
Common symptom pattern:
• Morning heel pain
• Pain after long periods on hard floors
• Heel pain that flares after activity (often worse after, not during)
How this orthotic helps
Plantar fasciitis pain is often driven by repetitive strain. As your heel contacts the ground, tension increases along the plantar fascia. Supportive footwear and properly designed orthotics can reduce that tension and the repeated micro‑stress that keeps symptoms going.
This device is designed to:
• Support the arch to reduce plantar fascia tension
• Cushion the heel at the point of contact where pain often concentrates
• Improve stability and alignment during standing and walking
• Reduce the “pull” through the fascia with each step

Replacement Instructions
1. Remove Insole
For the best fit, take out the removable insole if there is one.
2. Line Up & Trace
Place the shoe insole on top of the orthotic, (A) line up both the backs of the heels and (B) the inside the edges, and then (C) use a pen to trace the outline of the shoe insole onto the orthotic.
NOTE: If the insole can’t be removed, place the footwear on top of orthotic and trace an outline around the toe.
3. Trim
Cut along the OUTSIDE of the traced line. Don’t worry if it’s too long, you can always trim a little more. Trim it, try it... trim it, try it.
4. Insert & Test
Put the trimmed orthotic into the shoe.
NOTE: Test to make sure the orthotic can shift front to back inside about 1/16” or 2mm (the width of a nickel), so the insole can work with the natural movement of the foot inside the shoe.
Cleaning Care Instructions
Orthotic Care
Your devices may be washed periodically with soap and warm water. Allow your devices to air dry. Do not soak your devices in liquid. Do not use a heating appliance to dry your devices, i.e., hair dryer, clothing dryer, heat gun, or heat lamp.
Typical Wear & Life Span
The lifespan of your devices will depend on a few factors. Your activity level, size, and frequency of use will all have an affect on how long your devices last. The padding and top covers will typically wear out before the shell and posts. When you begin to see excessive wear, order a new pair.
