Heel Pain
Heel pain is a generic term for any pain you feel in, you guessed it, your heel. While it may be easy to determine your pain is in your heel, there can be a wide variety of causes, and treatment differs depending on the source.If you’re wondering, “why does my heel hurt?” the most common source of heel pain is plantar fasciitis. Your plantar fascia runs beneath the length of your foot, and when it gets inflamed or damaged you may start to feel a sharp, stabbing pain in heel of foot. Plantar fasciitis is very common among runners and those who work on their feet, or anyone who suddenly ramps up their level of physical activity. -
Heel Spurs
Heel spurs are small growths of bone that protrude from the bottom of your heel—sometimes as much as half of an inch! Heel spurs are calcium deposits, and they generally develop slowly over time. This buildup is caused by strain and wear and tear on your foot, and can be a response to inflammation. When inflammation occurs regularly, your body builds up extra bone to try and protect that area. -
High Arches
Let’s tell a familiar tale. You’re about to try on the 5th pair of shoes that have claimed to be high arch shoes. You are cautiously optimistic.

Our poor arch stays suspended in the air while the balls and heels of your feet are as cushioned as can be. -
Hip Pain
Anyone with hip pain can attest to the challenge of finding comfortable yet fashionable shoes. Stilettos and high heels continue to be popular women’s shoe options, while stiff sneakers and low-heel boots are the height of fashion for men’s shoes. -
Knee Pain
Knees are a pretty incredible joint. The knee is the largest joint in the human body and takes huge forces of impact on a daily basis. We need our knees for all types of movement, from sitting and standing to walking and running. -
Leg Pain
Leg pain can have a wide variety of causes, so the best shoes for leg pain will depend on what is causing your pain. Your legs support you when you stand and carry you when you walk, run, jump or dance—and that repetitive stress and trauma can cause injuries that lead to pain. Leg pain may also be caused by a medical condition or chronic illness. 
Metatarsalgia
Our feet absorb a lot of impact on a daily basis. In fact, our feet can withstand 2–6 times our body weight from simply walking. It’s no wonder the balls of our feet can start to hurt!
