Heel pain is generally concentrated in two areas either at the underside of your heel or at the back of your heel. Heel pain under your heel may be caused by a more serious issue such as Plantar Fasciitis. Pain at the back of your heel where the Achilles tendon attaches to the bone is called Achilles tendinitis. Heel pain is rarely a symptom of a serious condition but it can impair your ability to carry on normal activity. Standing on hard surfaces in shoes with little or no padding under your heel can also cause you pain. Hydrothotics provide you with a thin layer of padding between your feet and your shoes thus cushioning your heel from the impact of walking and standing on your heels. Hydrothotics have been shown to absorb 86% of the shock of the impact on your heels during walking, running and standing.
