CLUNKY ORTHOTICS CAN CAUSE HEEL BLISTERS

Are you tired of your shoes giving you pain, blisters, and discomfort? According to Bruce Pinker, DPM, "Many thick and chunky old-school orthotics will sit very high inside of shoes. The foot is then not sitting flush into where it should be. The heel bone rubs against the wrong part of the lining which often causes blistering. Have orthotics assessed by a modern podiatrist to get the right fit."

"Since most of the globe wears footwear, it is important for shoes to fit comfortably. Many individuals wear shoes all day long, and, in some cases, shoes can rub the back of the ankle, leading to significant discomfort. This can apply to women, as well as men," says Dr. Pinker.
