Why Store-Bought Insoles Often Fail Achilles Tendonitis
Understanding the difference between simply cushioning the heel versus mechanically off-loading the tendon is key to recovery.
Generic Insoles
mass produced
-
Lack of Heel Lift
Most generic insoles are flat, failing to reduce the tension on the Achilles tendon.
-
Poor Stability
Soft foam allows the heel to wobble side-to-side, increasing strain on the tendon insertion.
-
One-Size Arch
Generic arches don't correct the pronation or supination that often causes the tendonitis in the first place.
Bilt Labs Custom
Medical-Grade Orthotics
-
Tendon Off-Loading
A customized heel cup slightly elevates the heel, reducing tension on the Achilles tendon.
-
Rearfoot Stability
Deep heel stabilization prevents the side-to-side whipping motion that irritates the tendon.
-
Precision Molded Fit
Fabricated from a mold of your foot to ensure perfect alignment and shock absorption.
What is Achilles Tendonitis?
The Pathomechanics of Tendon Strain
Achilles Tendonitis is the inflammation of the large tendon connecting your calf muscles to your heel bone. It is often an overuse injury, but the root cause is frequently biomechanical misalignment.
When you overpronate (roll inward), it creates a "whipping" effect on the Achilles tendon, twisting it under load. Conversely, tight high arches (supination) transmit excessive shock directly into the tendon insertion. Both mechanical faults lead to micro-tears and chronic pain.
Common Symptoms:
- Pain and stiffness along the Achilles tendon in the morning.
- Pain along the tendon or back of the heel that worsens with activity.
- Severe pain the day after exercising.
- Thickening of the tendon.
Why Orthotics Are The Primary Treatment
The goal of treatment is to Reduce Tension.
Custom orthotics address this in two ways: First, a slight heel lift reduces the stretch on the tendon. Second, by correcting pronation or supination, the orthotic aligns the heel bone vertically, stopping the twisting motion that irritates the tendon fibers with every step.
Fast Facts
- Prevalence: Accounts for 11% of all running injuries.
- Risk: Tight calves increase risk significantly.
- Correction: Orthotics reduce strain by correcting gait alignment.
