Why are your shoes rubbing on the back of your ankle?

In some cases, this thing may result in minor discomfort, but these issues often lead back to chronic pain, disrupting our day-to-day activities to see how we feel after walking around all morning.

What can shoes rub on the back of your heel cause?

Shoes rubbing the back of your ankle can cause several problems. These are some examples:

  • Achilles Tendonitis: This inflammatory condition has several causes, one of which is a shoe that constantly rubs against the heel or top of the foot.
  • Achilles Tendonosis: This Achilles tendon strain can cause a bump at the base of the heel or the ankle. It may happen if a tissue breakdown due to overuse, and rubbing shoes will not help.
  • Bursitis: Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that help cushion the ankle’s bones and tendons. High heels or ill-fitting shoes can cause them to become inflamed and painful.

Tips for maintaining your feet

Taking care of your feet’ overall health is as essential as wearing well-fitting Playstation Dunks shoes. Here mentioned are a few easy things you can do to keep your feet in good shape:

  • Socks should be changed daily to prevent moisture in the heel and ankle area.
