Heel pain: Sounds like plantar fasciitis. You can get a wooden foot massager https://www.chemist.co.uk/source-balance-wood-foot-massger.html , try rolling it over an frozen water bottle , memory foam insoles, motrin if not allergic and there are night braces https://www.braceability.com/products/padded-night-splint-foot-boot. If does not work may need injection F/u/ w/ podiatrist ( foot doctor)

One possibility : The previous response is very thorough except for one possibility. Custom orthotics when made properly can be effective 90% in my practice
