What is Achilles Tendonitis?

Achilles tendonitis is the inflammation of the Achilles tendon — the thick band that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. It often develops from overuse, sudden increases in activity, or tight calf muscles. Common symptoms of Achilles tendon pain include stiffness, swelling, and discomfort at the back of the heel, especially after exercise or prolonged activity. If left untreated, Achilles tendonitis can progress into chronic pain, tendon degeneration, or even rupture.

Why Insoles for Achilles Tendonitis Matter in Treatment

Custom insoles for Achilles tendonitis are one of the most effective, non-invasive ways to manage pain and support recovery. TruCustom designs every pair of orthotic insoles with heel lifts and tailored arch support to reduce tension on the tendon, promote alignment, and cushion every step. By absorbing shock and stabilizing your gait, TruCustom orthotics help relieve Achilles tendonitis pain, speed up recovery, and prevent flare-ups.

Why Insoles Work Better Than Shoes for Achilles Tendonitis

When dealing with Achilles tendonitis, not all footwear solutions are equal. Unlike standard inserts, TruCustom insoles are handcrafted to match your exact foot shape and needs. They provide more effective support than even the best shoes for Achilles tendonitis, helping reduce strain and promoting long-term tendon health.
