Good luck with the recovery G-Man.
Without wishing to sound like a paid advocate for Vibrams (I'm not) have you tried barefoot running? The latter part of Born to Run addresses these very issues. A change to barefoot running (if done gradually with very gentle increases in distance) can change the shape of and natural strength in your feet. Some people actually drop a shoe size as their arches develop and the musculature of their feet develops. Crazy stuff.

I had PF last year. It's bloody horrible and takes an age to get over.
Using the FiveFingers, together with a 'lsiten to your body'/ less-is-more strategy, has helped me stay injury-free for the past year. Now if only I could find a way to avoid my annual chest infection/ bout of man flu I'd be flying high ...

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
