The Core Difference

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

mass produced

  • 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.

PODIATRIST RECOMMENDED

Bilt Labs Custom

Medical-Grade Orthotics

  • Targeted Offloading

    A custom-molded deep heel cup cradles the fat pad, using your body's natural cushioning to protect the bone.

  • Arch Support

    Restores proper alignment to stop the excessive stretching that pulls on the heel bone.

  • Precision Fit

    Fabricated from a mold of your foot to ensure perfect contact and pressure distribution.

Understanding The Condition

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.

Heel Pain FAQ

Expert answers on treating heel pain with custom orthotics.

Will orthotics help with heel pain?
Yes. Orthotics are highly effective because they address the root cause—usually mechanical strain on the plantar fascia or heel bone. By supporting the arch and cushioning the heel with a deep cup, they reduce tension and absorb shock, allowing the inflamed tissue to heal.
What are the best orthotics for heel pain?
The best orthotics are **custom-molded** devices. Unlike generic gel pads that just cushion, custom orthotics provide a deep heel cup to cradle the natural fat pad and a rigid arch support to stop the ligament from pulling on the heel bone.
What causes heel pain?
The most common causes are Plantar Fasciitis (inflammation of the arch ligament) and Heel Spurs (calcium deposits). Both are typically triggered by biomechanical faults like flat feet or high arches that put excessive strain on the heel bone.
Do orthotics help heel spurs?
Yes. While orthotics cannot remove a bone spur, they treat the pain by supporting the arch and reducing the tension that causes the spur to dig into the soft tissue. A deep heel cup also provides natural cushioning.
Can I walk with heel pain?
You should avoid high-impact activities, but walking is generally okay if you have proper support. Avoid walking barefoot, as this strains the arch. Using custom orthotics in your walking shoes can allow you to stay active while you heal.
What shoes are best for heel pain?
Shoes with a stiff heel counter (back of the shoe), good arch support, and a slightly elevated heel (10-12mm drop) are best. Adding a custom orthotic to a quality neutral running shoe is often the most effective combination.
