Heel Pain
Walking puts a lot of stress on your feet, which can cause heel pain, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. One of the causes of heel pain is wearing nonsupportive shoes that may irritate sensitive tissues.
Types
New Balance 927, 811 and 846 walking shoes are designed to aid with heel pain. New Balance 927 features enhanced motion control, ample cushioning in the heel for shock absorption and a liner that reduces discomfort and abrasion.
Considerations
Before purchasing a New Balance walking shoe, seek your physician's advice and diagnosis. You may also need to wear shoe modifications, such as a heel insert. Other treatments may include stretching exercises, icing, rest, compression and use of anti-inflammatory medications.
