Different kind of foot pain

[love heels]

I have problems wearing my tennis shoes or my moccasins. While wearing them they actually hurt my feet. When I'm wearing my heels or my work boots with three inch heels my feet don't hurt at all and I find the heels quite comfortable. Any ideas what could be the cause?

What part of your foot is bothering you?

My heel and the back of my leg in the muscle area.

You've been wearing heels for awhile, haven't you? Sounds like tendon shortening from wearing heels to me.

Just a little while. From 3 inch western boots to 6 inch stilletos. I don't have a problem when I'm wearing either, just when I go flat foot.

Went through that same thing my self. Had pain in the ankle joint at the front of the joint from wearing flats and worse yet with my Earth shoes. Solution more flats. Had that muscle pain in back. Solution take it easy and lots of practice with the flats. Had pain at the back of my ankle joint with the highest heels. Solution less time in the high high at a time but more often. If it hurts ease off a bit but keep practicing is my experience. Now I can wear flats all day or four inch heels all day.

Yup. Sounds like a clear case of shortened achilles and "calf" muscle. Advice ....everything in moderation as the old saying goes. I actually find uisng heels for short duration (say max 1 hour at a time) mixed with plenty of flat use has resulted in better flexibility of the ankles and foot than I had before I started wearing heels. Since I don't use heels at work and not being a woman don't need to do so to conform I feel I have a healthy mix.

Yes sounds just like shortened achillies, Pauline my wife has pulled her right tendons and struggling at the moment, mix lower heel high with higher heels and try and relax your ankles when sat bare foot, hope you feel better.
