Poorly Fitting Footwear
Working out or doing physical activities in poorly fitting footwear would increase the risk of developing Achilles tendinitis. This is because these shoes would put more pressure on your heel and cause inflammation or injuries in the long run. That’s why you need to find proper footwear that would support both your cushion and arches. In addition, shoes that provide a softer sensation at the back of your heel would alleviate unnecessary irritation to your Achilles tendon. If necessary, ask your doctor for some kind of orthotic insert, which can be placed into a shoe to improve support. When the pain is too serious, a recovery boot can be suggested. It can help strain off your tendon and foot flexed. [8]
