Shoe inserts for heel pain go inside shoes to add arch support and cushioning. Over-the-counter orthotics and insoles replace removable footbeds in shoes. Patients with heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis are often advised by doctors to wear supportive footwear whenever they bear weight so as not to strain and further injure the plantar fascia. The problem is that most footwear lacks good arch support. Podiatrists sometimes advise expensive custom made orthotic inserts for such shoes
