Agreed on not giving it up. I had PF too. I actually succumbed to the cortisone shot eventually and rest, and the inflammation finally went away... but every so often I still get a little tight in the arches. Overly supportive shoes and orthodics weakens your foot's natural abilities. I decided to get into BF running after figuring I wasn't born with shoes, so my body must have the capacity to run on it's own, right?
I did heal all the way before I started BF running, though.
Other things that helped: this thing to stretch my foot (wear shoes in it) and this boot thing to sleep in.
Thanks, I went to the doctor about 18 months ago and custom inserts were suggested, but it calmed down significantly after I started school (I had been working at a hardware store, 8-10 hours of standing on concrete is no fun). Annoyingly, this semester I'm on my feet a lot more, and my feet are letting me know they're not happy.
Is this the type of splint you mean? Do you sleep with it? ^how?
Had that too :-)
Last year before hiking I wore this sort of walking boot thing that stretches out your calf muscles, the logic being that since the fascia is all connected, by loosening it up you allow things to stretch more without inflaming. Something like this:

I had no PF problems last year, although I did break my foot and get off early because of that.
