Hi. When the idea of not heel-striking so much and more natural running shoes came around, I jumped on board. I bought my first pair of Newtons around 7 years ago and tried to strike closer to the ball of my foot. The lugs on their shoes really helped. I'm still a heel-striker, but less so. I've worn Newtons ever since and my plantar fasciitis went away completely.

I'm a Gravity girl, but it's one of those "your mileage may vary things." I tried many different shoes before settling into these. Also, if you're not used to zero drop, you'll want to only wear them on shorter runs and rotate until your calves (and Achilles!) acclimate. There's great potential for injury in any change. "Gradual progress." (I'm channeling Doug Dapo, who was probably channeling Danny Dreyer, the ChiRunning folks.
