So, you've taken the time to consider Hoka One One's 8-ounce shoe, but perhaps you'd like to go even lighter than that? Newton has a solution when you want lightweight men's athletic shoes for plantar fasciitis. Its Distance 7 shoe is an incredible 7.6 ounces. That's not easy for a men's running shoe to pull off. A full-length cushion in the midsole is great for a sore underfoot. The brand also includes features such as the Biomechanical Metatarsal Sensor, for added stability, as well as super high abrasion rubber, for enhanced durability.
