I see a circular discussion starting here. You don't believe me then ask me if its true. Here's an idea, google " plantar fascia treatment causes". Then read, learn, compare, and make your own mind up.
OR look at the arch of your foot and ask yourself why sport shoes support the arch and climbing shoes even more.
Did I make up the foot arch, shoe design, beginner lack of muscle conditioning. Must be a conspiracy.
