The heel bone is the largest of the 26 bones in the human foot, which also has 33 joints and a network of more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Like all bones, it is subject to outside influences that can affect its integrity and its ability to keep us on our feet. Heel pain, sometimes disabling, can occur in the front, back, or bottom of the heel.

Causes
Heel pain has many causes. Heel pain is generally the result of faulty biomechanics (walking gait abnormalities) that place too much stress on the heel bone and the soft tissues that attach to it. The stress may also result from injury, or a bruise incurred while walking, running, or jumping on hard surfaces; wearing poorly constructed footwear (such as flimsy flip-flops); or being overweight.

Contact our office if you are experiencing any heel pain.

Here are some things to know about shoe size:

How to measure your foot
To measure your foot, stand with your weight on one foot and a slight bend in your knees. Trace your foot's outline on paper with a pen or pencil. Then, measure the distance between the tip of your big toe and the outermost part of your heel.

How to find the right shoe size
When choosing shoes, you should have about an inch of space between your toes and the tip of your shoe. You can also check that there's enough space for your finger to fit snugly between the heel of your foot and the heel of your shoe.

Different foot sizes
It's common for feet to be slightly different sizes, so you should measure both feet. If your feet are different sizes, you should buy shoes based on the larger foot.

Shoe width
In addition to length, you can measure your foot's width to determine if you need narrow, medium, or wide shoes.

Comfort
The most important factor when choosing shoes is comfort. Most shoes can't be broken in, so if a shoe isn't comfortable, it's not suitable.

Shoe size conversion
To convert women's shoe sizes to men's, subtract 1.5 from the women's size. To convert men's shoe sizes to women's, add 1.5 to the men's size.

Kids' shoe sizes
Kids' shoe sizes are different from adult sizes because children's feet grow quickly. Kids' shoe sizes are often divided into categories like toddler, small kids, and big kids.
