Achilles Tendinitis

Achilles tendinitis is inflammation of the large tendon that connects your calf muscle to your heel bone, typically caused by overuse, sudden increases in activity, or tight calf muscles. Footwear that reduces strain on the tendon—through a cushioned heel, a higher heel-to-toe drop, and a slight heel lift or rocker—can ease pain and support healing alongside rest and physical therapy.

Our Achilles tendinitis collection includes cushioned walking shoes, running shoes with elevated heels, comfort sandals with arch support, and heel lifts or shims that can be added to your existing shoes. We stock options for both men and women, with models from brands like New Balance, ASICS, Hoka, and others designed specifically to reduce calf and Achilles load during everyday movement and recovery.

Our certified pedorthists fit every customer in-store at our Palm Beach Gardens location and can assess your gait, heel height needs, and calf tightness to recommend the right shoe or insert. You're welcome to visit us in person, order online with free returns, or bring your own orthotics for us to evaluate with your footwear choice.
