Common Causes of Heel Pain in Men
Plantar fasciitis is the leading cause of heel pain in the US. Repeated stress on our plantar fascia—or the fibrous tissue that runs the length of the sole of our feet—can lead to pain and inflammation in the heels and arches of the foot.
Achilles tendonitis is a common overuse injury, especially in athletic or active adults. This foot pain condition occurs when the Achilles tendon—which attaches our heel bone to our calf muscle—works beyond its strength, resulting in inflammation of the tendon.
Heel fat pad degradation is especially common in older adults. Our feet have a natural cushioning system—our heel’s fat pad—which helps protect our heel bone from impact. Without the proper footwear support, the heel bone has little protection from hard, unforgiving surfaces, leading to fat pad degradation and…you guessed it: heel pain.
Effective Ways To Reduce Heel Pain
There are a few daily habits men can practice to reduce or prevent chronic heel pain including wearing men's shoes for heel pain designed to provide excellent heel cushioning, arch support and shock-absorption—especially when you’re on your feet all day. Other habits include avoiding walking barefoot on hard surfaces to protect the heel's fat pad and maintaining a regular exercise and foot stretching routine to keep the plantar fascia at its best.

LOVE MY QUANTUMS!!!
Almost twenty years ago during my retirement physical from Air Force, it was discovered I had an undiagnosed heel spur. Since that time, I have tried multiple non-surgical methods to deal with the pain associated with the heel spur to include shoe inserts in all of my shoes, but to no avail. Nothing has worked consistently until now. Since I began wearing my KURU QUANTUM shoes, my heel pain has vanished! Exercise is now pain free. THANK YOU, KURU!"

This Is 40
I woke up with pain in my heel, I guess just because God made me turn 44 this year—I really don’t remember doing anything but sleeping and waking up with pain. Rest and ice helped but so did the KURUs and I haven’t had an issue since, great support and comfort and I wear them all the time. Highly recommended."
