Can Walking Barefoot Cause Foot Conditions?

Hi there, I’m Dr. Bhela. Did you know that walking barefoot might actually be causing you foot pain? 

While it feels great to go barefoot, it can lead to foot conditions like plantar fasciitis.

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis or Heel Pain?

Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of the tissue that connects from your heel to your toes. Walking on the hard surface without proper support puts an extra strain on your plantar fascia in your foot, leading to pain and discomfort. 

So should you skip the shoe completely? Not necessarily. Consider supporting footwear with the arch support while walking a long distance to avoid pain.
