Also, when I do get the pf pains, the golf ball works brilliantly in solving the issues in a couple of minutes after pushing down the heel on the golf ball and rubbing it forward and back for a couple of minutes at night and in the mornings when the pain is at it's worst.

That is something I haven't done yet is get flip flops to wear around the house and such. I need to make a trip to the store and pick some up. I'm bad about walking around the house barefoot sometimes. I tried the golf ball this morning as well. That seems to work better than using the massage roller on my arch. Is able to get a deeper massage out of it.

Do you massage your feet after every run and ruck?
Are you dropping pack and elevating your feet during ruckmarch halts longer than a couple of minutes? Are you taking halts at all?
If you're still having PF issues, you may need to use a strassburg sock.
Are you willing to spend the money to see a physician who treats this condition? If your best efforts still come up short, this may be the best COA.

What would you consider top of the line? Currently for running and crossfit I use the Superfeet blue inserts. For rucking and everyday wear I use the Superfeet DMP inserts.
I usually don't massage my feet except in the morning and evening but I'll start adding that in after runs and rucks as well.
As of now the only halts I take when I ruck are for stretching, and usually if I stop at all for that it'll be at the very beginning. Usually though I've try to go the entire length of my ruck without a halt. I'll start adding in halts and elevate my feet while doing so.
I've got a strassburg sock but I usually don't wear that unless I don't have inserts in the current shoes I'm wearing.
Honestly I'm not concerned about the money. My biggest concern is simply getting my foot back to a 100% before I arrive at selection.
