Which comes first after plantar plate heals running or dress shoes

I got an interesting question from a runner who had a plantar plate injury. 

This runner had a long course of sort of misdiagnosis, mistreatment and various plantar plate "misadventures." 

But when we started working together, he started to do some specific things to improve quickly, and he is doing great now. 

He asked:

“Which comes first after my plantar plate sprain heals, will I be running, or will I be wearing dress shoes?”

Well, that is a good question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
