Pain and tenderness in the Achilles tendon are caused by irritation around the tendon, which is located behind the calf muscle. This condition is also known as Achilles tendonitis, and it can cause significant discomfort in daily life. If you don’t respond to the symptoms, they can worsen, eventually making it difficult to stay physically active.
The symptoms typically manifest as pain in the lower part of the tendon. You may also experience pain at the back of the heel. The pain is triggered by physical activity, with running being a major culprit. In some cases, swelling may occur around the affected area.
You might initially notice that the pain disappears when you start running, only to be replaced later by worse pain and stiffness.
Achilles tendon pain can have several causes, but it is often due to overuse and problems with the way the body moves, such as improper or unbalanced movement patterns.
Overuse: Repeated stress on the Achilles tendon, such as running on hard surfaces or intensive training, can overload the tendon.
Improper foot alignment: If your foot rolls too far inward (overpronation) or outward (supination) during walking or running, it creates uneven tension on the foot. This misalignment can travel upward, creating stress on the Achilles tendon. Over time, this can lead to inflammation if not addressed.
Tight calf muscles: Lack of flexibility in the calf muscles can increase the load on the Achilles tendon.
Unsuitable footwear: Shoes that don’t provide adequate support or cushioning can exacerbate the problem.
It typically affects older individuals and athletes, particularly runners, who are prone to Achilles tendonitis due to frequent running on hard surfaces, which overloads the feet and lower legs.
Middle-aged exercisers are also more likely to suffer from Achilles tendonitis compared to younger individuals who engage in moderate physical activity in their free time.
At ZOLES®, we’ve cracked the code to custom-made insoles that fit the shape of your foot. To us, it makes no sense to use a standard insole when every foot is different.
Your ZOLES® insoles are designed to correct either overpronation or supination, depending on your foot alignment, while also providing proper cushioning. This reduces the impact with each step, thereby relieving the strain on the Achilles tendon.
If your foot supinates, the insoles are made with a heel lift, which will reduce tension in the Achilles tendon.
All of this is made possible thanks to our intelligent technology. We use a 3D scan of your foot to create a unique 3D-printed insole that fits perfectly to your feet.
ZOLES® helps you walk better and provides greater comfort in everyday life, at work, and during sports.
We deliver this unique service at a highly competitive price. We 3D print your insoles in Denmark and ship within 5-7 business days.
