04

Transition tolerance

When drop, stack or flexibility changes substantially, begin with shorter exposure. Keep a familiar pair available and increase only when the current dose feels ordinary during and after use.

Keep the purchase separate from treatment claims

Treat this collection as a way to organize questions before buying, not as a list of shoes proven to treat heel pain. Record the footwear features you currently tolerate and any advice already given by your clinician. A product review or category name cannot determine which change is appropriate for your circumstances.

Make uncertain fit easy to resolve

Check the return conditions and whether the model accommodates the cushioning or removable support you plan to use. Ask for missing sizing information before ordering. If heel pain is persistent, the next useful step is a personal assessment rather than choosing the most minimal option or assuming that a new shoe will settle the problem.
