Pretty sure we're born with plantar fascia - it's definitely not caused by wearing rock shoes.
If you're talking about plantar fasciitis, it has a multitude of causes, however clinically, I think it'll be rare to say that a pair of aggressive/ flexible climbing shoes that are worn for a few minutes at a time are the sole (get it?!!) causing factors of it. If you have a bad bout of plantar fascitis, good luck getting your foot in a well fitting climbing shoe!!
