When we look at someone walking from behind, one of the most common things we see in clinic is over-pronation — where the heel rolls in too far after it hits the ground. In this video we’ve drawn the angle on the back of the heel so you can actually see how the foot tilts inward when it lands. When that angle becomes too large, the arch collapses and the plantar fascia ligament is placed under extra strain with every step. Over thousands of steps a day on the job, that strain can lead to common problems like: • Plantar fasciitis • Heel spurs • Chronic heel pain • Aching feet and legs by the end of the workday In the podiatry clinic, we usually manage this by supporting the arch and controlling the heel position, which helps keep the foot in a more neutral alignment as you walk. That’s exactly why our ERGONX arch support work boots are designed the way they are — with structural arch support, a stable heel counter, and cushioning to reduce the load going through the plantar fascia. If your feet are rolling in too far and you’re getting heel pain at work, your boots might not be supporting you enough.
