What&#8217;s the source of sore heels? Injury, disease, and excess weight are among the possible culprits. But more often, heel pain results from poor biomechanics, often made worse by unsupportive shoes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How heel pain develops.<\/strong>\u00a0If your foot pronates\u00a0too much, the ankle rolls too far downward and inward with each step. This can cause the arch to collapse and muscles and supporting structures to overstretch\u00a0and lengthen. The ligaments running from the heel to the toes become strained, often leading to inflammation along the bottom of the foot (plantar fasciitis). In response, the heel bone may also develop a bony growth (heel spur), right in the center of the heel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plantar fasciitis footwear.<\/strong> By wearing <a title=\"orthotic inserts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/women\/orthotics.html\" target=\"_blank\">orthotic shoe inserts <\/a>or <a title=\"Orthaheel\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\" target=\"_blank\">shoes for plantar fasciitis<\/a>, you can align your feet and improve body posture. Extra arch support and realignment of the lower leg to its natural angle reduces the pulling and strain on the plantar fascia. This can take away a common cause of pain in heels.<\/p>\n<p>If you have had success in relieving heel pain by wearing Orthaheel sandals or shoes,\u00a0share your experience\u00a0by commenting on this post!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a class=\"more-link\" id=\"excerpt\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/lets-talk-about-heel-pain\/\">Read More &gt;<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[314],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-medical-science-technology","dwtl normal"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2239,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269\/revisions\/2239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
