I have really bad plantar fasciitis and have found these to be really effective at supporting my arch: https://www.amazon.com/OrthoSleeve-Compression-Foot-Sleeve-Pair/dp/B00LX85X7I?th=1&psc=1
So far I haven't found a really good insert online. REI had some good ones but I can't remember the name. They were recommended by friend who tore the tendon in her foot and now it's completely flat. The only thing I remember is they're made of hard plastic (no gel) and I read that's really important for arch support orthotics. I know that's not super helpful but maybe it will help give you some guideline of what to look for.
I've battled achilles tendinitis for the better and worse parts of my running career.
Strength training on your calf, achilles, plantar area should NOT be your focus right now. Keeping those interconnecting tendons/muscles stretched out and increasing your flexibility should be your primary area of concentration. Massage those areas morning and night. Consider the plantar fasciitis compression sock. Doing aerobic work that doesn't stress those areas as harshly as running to maintain your fitness is the main thing you could be doing, eliptical is probably your best bet. If you're dead set on strength training high reps/low weight is the way to go.
Footwear is important. Maybe barefoot is your thing but if you're haven't been in barefoot shoes switching into it now is probably a bad idea. It'll be another stress you're adding to your body to adjust to. Rather look at the shoes you use for walking around in. Are they poorly made? Flat? Lack cushioning? You may want to add insoles in them. Sole and Superfeet are both good brands. Also look at the state of your current running shoes. Are they old? Older than 3 months? Cheap? If you run regularly you need to be properly fitted. Then once this has healed up, you can switch over to barefoot if that's what you wish. I tried the barefoot thing, I saw no benefit to it except my footwear would smell more. As I'm already an efficient runner, I prefer the protection shoes give me. To each his/her own.
