Dr. Eric Bluman answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Surgery

Pain associated?: If there is no pain associated with the popping it probably is not a problem. If there is pain or it persists you may want to seek the care of an orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon. One in your area can be found at www.Aofas.Org.

Not at all: Some popping and cracking can be normal, as long as there isn't steady pain.

Dr Ettinger and another doctor agreed
