A member asked:

What can i do if my heel hurts from my shoes?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Try changing shoes: A more supportive shoe and possibly an insert/orthotic would be helpful. If still a problem, see a podiatrist.

Get rid of the shoes: If you know the cause of the pain is the shoes, then change shoes.
