Pain in the heel can be characterised in several different ways. Firstly, the pain can occur directly under the heel. But it is also common for it to hurt behind the heel, around the Achilles tendon. One of the most common causes of heel pain is overloading the broad tendon under the foot (plantar fascia). This often leads to pain under or on the inside of the heel. This is also known as a heel spur. Read more about heel spurs by clicking here.
Why should you use heel inserts?
Heel inserts relieve pressure on the heel and give the foot a comfortable slope. They are used to protect the feet from all types of heel problems and can be used both for prevention and pain relief. Most heel inserts fit the vast majority of shoe types such as work shoes, trainers, party shoes or walking/jogging shoes.
What are heel inserts, and how do they help with heel pain?
Heel inserts are designed to provide comfortable shock absorption to the heel, reducing the stress and impact felt when walking, running, or standing. They are especially beneficial for individuals experiencing heel pain, such as those suffering from heel spurs or issues with the plantar fascia. By cushioning the heel, they help relieve pain and prevent further discomfort.
Can heel inserts be used in any type of shoe?
Yes, most heel inserts are versatile and can fit into a wide range of shoe types, including work shoes, trainers, party shoes, and walking or jogging shoes. This makes them a convenient option for anyone looking to alleviate heel pain without needing to purchase special footwear.
Are there specific heel inserts for people with uneven leg lengths?
Yes, individuals with legs of different lengths can benefit from cork heel inserts, which help to balance the load on the body when walking or running. By evening out the leg length discrepancy, these inserts can contribute to better overall posture and reduced pain.
What are common causes of heel pain that heel inserts can address?
Heel inserts can address various causes of heel pain, including overloading of the plantar fascia, known as heel spurs, which often result in discomfort under or on the inside of the heel. Pain can also occur directly under the heel or around the Achilles tendon, and inserts are effective in providing the necessary support and relief.
