Why Store-Bought Insoles Often Fail Heel Pain
Understanding the difference between simply cushioning the heel versus mechanically correcting the root cause of the spur is key.
Generic Insoles

Bottoms Out
Soft foam compresses immediately under the heel bone, offering zero protection against impact.
-
Lack of Stability
Flat heel cups allow the calcaneus to wobble, irritating the plantar fascia attachment point.
-
One-Size Arch
Doesn't correct the pronation or supination that often causes the heel spur to form.

What is Heel Pain?
The Mechanics of Heel Pain
Heel pain is most often caused by Plantar Fasciitis or Heel Spurs. Both conditions result from excessive tension on the tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes.
When you walk, your arch flattens. If it flattens too much (overpronation) or not enough (supination), the connective tissue pulls violently on the heel bone. Over time, this causes inflammation and can lead the body to build a calcium deposit (bone spur) to protect itself.
Common Symptoms:
- Sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, especially with the first steps in the morning.
- A dull ache in the heel after prolonged standing.
- Swelling or redness around the heel.
- Visible bony protrusion (in some cases).
Why Orthotics Are The Primary Treatment
The goal of treatment is to Cushion and Correct.
Custom orthotics provide a deep heel cup that gathers the natural fat pad of your heel to provide shock absorption. Simultaneously, they support the arch to stop the ligament from pulling on the bone, allowing the inflammation to subside.
