Orthopedic shoes with heel spur. How to choose and how to save on the purchase of orthopedic shoes?

Heel spur disease is known to men and women at any age. Treatment of fasciitis is based on the relief of inflammation and removal of the bone spike, causing severe discomfort. Look tips for good walking shoes for plantar fasciitis.

In many respects, the effectiveness of therapy depends on whether the patient will be able to reduce the weight and shock load on the sore heel during treatment.

The effectiveness of reducing pressure on the heel and the entire foot is determined by the quality of the shoes that the patient wears.

In the article, we will tell you what shoes should be worn with a heel spur, how to choose it and what to do if you can’t afford orthopedic shoes?

What shoes to wear with heel spur?

The need to reduce static and shock loads on the affected fascia of the heel is due to the fact that the spike during walking increases pressure on the surrounding tissue. This delivers not only unbearable pain but prevents the regeneration of connective tissue.

Orthopedic shoes with heel spur help to reduce stress and protect the sore heel from additional injury.

Such shoes must meet the following requirements:

• be made of high-quality natural materials;
• have a stable heel up to 3-4 cm for female models and 1-1.5 cm – for male;
• the presence of a high density, but not traumatic backdrop with a vertical axis is required;
• the sole should be medium-hard, lightweight, non-slip;
• the shoes should be perfect in fullness and size.

Special requirements apply to insoles in orthopedic shoes. They should have a thickened heel area, not crumple, absorb moisture, cushion the foot when walking. If there is no instep support in orthopedic shoes, it can be installed separately.

For example, the Strutz orthopedic arch support can be used with shoes of any type, performing the function of a heel shock absorber, which is especially important in the presence of a spur.
