best athletic shoes heel spurs image

I stand on my feet at work for several hours and I have a heel that hurts! It feels like a deep bruise or heel spur. What do you recommend as the best athletic shoe for heel comfort?
Answer
I am not sure if this would work for you, but I have these shoes by a company called Earth Shoes. They have this negative heel technology, http://www.earth.us/ I am sure they can explain it better than I can. I have plantar fasciitis, which is pretty much what you are describing. I used arch supports for years, which does help, in any shoe. But when I started wearing these shoes, the pain went away completely. They are costly, but so worth it. I wear them every day.

When should I see a doctor if I suspect I have a heel spur?

I´ve had this pain in my heel for about three weeks, and it´s not going away. If I don´t go to the doctor, will it only get worse, or can it heal (no pun intended) on its´own?
Answer
The pain often results from inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a thin connective tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. Micro tearing and stress of this tissue can cause this problem. Standing, walking, and running on hard surfaces can cause plantar fascitis. A heel spur forms when this condition has been untreated for a long period of time. Most of the time the spur is not the main cause of pain.
There are some home remedies that you can do before heading to the doctor. Get a water bottle, freeze it, and then roll it under your foot for about 15 minutes or so, two to three times a day. This allows you to stretch and ice the inflammed tissue all in one sweep. There are some stretching exercises you can do to help. Also, get some supportive shoes; running shoes with a well cushioned heel and some width for your toes to add stability are ideal. Unfortunately, dress codes at work and limited budgets can interfere with wearing good supportive shoes at work.
There are some arch bands that you can buy in the footcare aisle at your pharmacy or supermarket, or you can make your own. Get an oval cotton pad, and get some athletic tape, and put the cotton pad on the inside of your foot, where your arch is. Wrap the tape around your arch, but make sure it is not too tight so that you don't interfere with the circulation in your foot.
If home remedies don't work, or you have pain while you are at rest, then you need to see your doctor.
Feel better; I know how bad this can hurt!
