Heel spur and orthopedic insoles
With a heel spur the pain is worst in the morning, during the first steps. The cause is constant overload of the plantar fascia where it attaches to the heel bone. An insole cushions the heel and relieves that tension.
Signs to look for
- The first steps after sleep are painful
- The heel stings after sitting for a long time
- A pinpoint pain in the centre of the heel
- Walking on hard surfaces makes it worse
- Pain eases during the day and returns by evening
What insoles do
- A soft zone under the heel absorbs impact
- Arch support reduces tension in the fascia
- Lower shock load with every step
- Gradually longer pain-free walking distance
Who it suits
Main risk factors are excess weight, standing work, running and stiff footwear. In those cases insoles help most.

- Insoles remove load, but work best together with stretching exercises and proper shoes. If needed we refer you to a doctor.
- Which shoes can take the insoles?
- Closed shoes with a firm heel counter. At the appointment we fit the insole to your pair.
