They're OK...: But we, as a profession, (and this is really generalized) feel that the key to alleviating the majority of heel pain is with arch support. It reduces the stress of the pull of the plantar fascia. For an over-the-counter product, i really like spenco total support insoles. http://spenco.com/products/footcare/total-support-insoles.

No: Alteration of footgear and arch supports are usually the "first aid" of heel pain. If not improved, increasing heel height, ice massage and taking anti-inflammatories can help. Beyond this you need a good podiatrist's help.
