Hi everyone, i stopped playing basketball for few years and recently just started playing again, i noticed whenever i wear basketball shoe my left feet arch will feel pain after performing some jump shoot and layup, right foot dont have any issue. i've tried 3 different pair of basketball shoe the result is still the same. Is it because my feet muscle doesnt get used to sudden overuse of it? is there any cure to this issue? i do stretch/ warmup my leg and feet before playing. All 3 pairs of shoe is true to my feet size.

so it should not be shoe problem correct?

will massage actually help? how yours plantar fascitis after massaging every week? because i use a hockey ball to perform rolling massage for both my feet, it does relief the pain, but when i play basketball it will pain again.

will look into it, thanks for the suggestion.

i do suspect is the shoe, one of the shoe whenever i put on direct i will felt slight pain on my left foot arch cause it was hugging my feet so tight, the other two pair will felt less pain. will try those arch support insole or pad first see if it help. when wearing casual or running shoe my arch didnt feel any pain even if i walk in fast pace. maybe like the other forumer said, the jumping and running in basketball game causes the pain.

this could be the reason too, last i played basketball maybe 3 years ago? that is actually alot of gap and have to admit maybe is because of overweight too.

alright, will definitely try towel stretch as well , thanks for the advice

very informative. thanks
