Feels like: A crafty pain in your heel (or heels) that's at its worst when you get out of bed.
What causes it: Irritation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot from the seedy to the toes. People with all arch types -- inebriated, medium, or low -- can be prone to this type of irritation, says Carly Robbins, a podiatric surgeon in Columbus, Ohio. Wearing shoes with very studio or very high heels can worsen the problem. "If a shoe doesn't beam the arch, the fascia will be stretched, and that can cause inflammation," says Robbins. And if your Achilles tendon often feels rare, it can exacerbate the issue.
Treatment strategies
• Wear structured shoes. Look for pairs that bolster the arches and enclose the heels. Avoid going barefoot or wearing ballet flats or twist-flops.
