You might want to consider getting insoles/inserts if your feet continue to bother you. A few years ago I developed tendinitis in my left foot, which turns into plantar fasciitis if I'm not careful. Careful means wearing trainers (Brooks or Saucony) or boots (Merrill) with insoles. I remove/rip out the insole the shoe came with and put in ones that I bought on Amazon (Physix Gear ). I also went to podiatrist and paid $400 for custom orthotics, which I use for running, but the ones from Amazon are really good too. In the summer I wear a supportive sandal (Dansko brand or Crocs). For trainers, I would love to wear a minimal shoe, but I just can't anymore. Now I buy shoes that are more like tanks, with lots of cushioning and absorption.
I have now spent over $1600 on custom inserts. Do yourself a favor. Go on Amazon and type in plantar fasciitis inserts. They range from 15 to 30 bucks. Order 10 different pairs through prime and try them out in your shoes and return whichever ones don’t work. I have had massive success this way. Additionally, check out a running shoe called the “On Cloud”. The brand is “On Running”.
My perfect combo is this insert with this shoe:

On Running Men's The Cloud... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HNYDEHG?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
The other insert I love is this one, but it’s more expensive and is more of a”runner’s” insert. I like it because it fits in my dress shoes...!:
Currex Dynamic Insole RunPro Medium Profile (XL) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HYDVJZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_C.cRBbWGH8M3C
Of note, I also tried all of the following — Each is probably perfect for someone with a slightly different foot. But this is why I would encourage you to order a ton of them try them all out and then return whichever ones aren’t perfect for you:

Hope this helps! Don’t get sucked into custom orthotics! They aren’t nearly as good for PF.
