Certain models of New Balance shoes are recommend to ease foot and
ankle problems.

I've got the 517's that Greg recommended, which the doc liked as long as I wore the arch supports
she gave me (for $45).

I had that arch support deal but I was not sure it helped that much
because of where my injury was (on the heel end).
I had 608s but they don't make them anymore. My foot healed but the
shoes did not make it. They were my favorite hiking shoes and I had
just worn them on vacations before that.

My PF was cured by wearing NB 608 cross trainers for about 6 months
but it was just an impact injury, not a tear.

608's are gone and the new versions are horrible.

Yup. I was looking at my vacation pictures and I have that same pair
of 608s on every vacation since 2008. They are still my favorite shoes
for hiking although I have a new pair of 624s.

The NB discussion page is full of people asking them to bring the
original 608's back. The V2/V3 - whatever- aren't the same. The
responses from the NB staff to the discussion questions are always
recommendations for a different series or the V2/V3 608's. This has
been going on for years. By now you would think they would have noticed
a pattern and reintroduced the originals. I have an old pair of real
608's in brown that I rarely wear but use as a benchmark when I try the
others.
