Your Achilles tendon can inflame and become very painful resulting in what is known as Achilles tendonitis. Achilles tendonitis effects a lot of sports people from runners and to cyclists, but it can also effect all the rest of us as well who dont even compete in sport.

Study's carried out by scientists has now shown that a very simple exercise can relieve chronic pain and swelling in the Achilles-tendon by quite a lot.

But you may need discipline and commitment: You must repeat the exercise 15 times for each foot for at least three months for it to work the best.

Whilst doing this exercise you may get sore calf muscles at the beginning- this is perfectly normal, and you should just continue! (because it is working and strengthening the calf muscles)

To begin you must position your barefoot and your toes on a stair step, then you must hold the position for two seconds, then lower the heel  vertically and repeat.



Another cause of achilles pain can be due to the fact that you are wearing ill fitting shoe or have insoles that do not provide the right level of support.

*You can buy metatarsal pads that are placed at the bottom of your heel in side your shoes that support the heel and spread pressure that can start building up on your heel, this can also have a good effect on reducing pressure on the achilles tendon too, because these metatarsal pads will also cushion impacts when you walk or run that could damage or inflame the achilles tendon and heel.
*You can buy online plantar fasciitis insoles that have been specially made to prevent platar fasciitis from developing by supporting your heel.

Not only shall a pair of running insoles make you run faster but a pair of these insoles has the added bonus of when you run your feet will be more comfortable as well because they will be cushioned and better supported.
Athlete all over the globe use running insoles to better there sporting careers and better their running. But that's not the only reason why athletes use them. Athletes have a increased risk of developing things like plantar fasciitis and damaging there feet because of excess use and strain. Ironically obese people also have a increased risk of foot damage due to the weakening of the foot muscles and tissues due to reasons such as under use.. plus obese people tend to have a even bigger risk of getting plantar fasciitis because the plantar fascia is put under greater pressure by the excess weight.
Running insoles can support the arch of the foot along with providing comfort and shock absorption as well all because running insoles have been built for this purpose with their orthotics in the design.

If you dont want to run the risk (excuse the pun) of getting foot problems then some of these insoles are really for you whether you run or not it is better to prevent future problems from developing in the first place.

If you are suffering from corns or aches and pains in your toes it is almost always your own fault. The cause of the aches and pains in your toes can be caused from wearing too narrow shoes or uncomfortable ones that do not fit properly, Overtime by wearing poorly fitted shoes the constant pressing down that can occur on the toes (usually found on top of part of the toe) can cause thickening of skin tissue (corns) around the areas under pressure of to stave off the pressure and protect your toes from damage . This means that there will be even less space in your shoes-and then you will find yourself in a vicious circle!

Bad toes  maybe caused by a cone-shaped thickening of the skin layer, and it can be localized in the area around the toes, the sole of the foot, the heel and plantar fascia.

If you want to prevent corns, one must make sure to wear the right fitting footwear, and walk around bare feet as often as possible so the pressure does not build. You can also wear special orthotic insoles as well which can spread pressure evenly but make sure the insoles do not make your shoes uncomfortable and to tight.
