The common things.

Obviously, the common ones are bunions and the clawed toes that may or may not be associated with it, because that causes pressure lesions.

You've got bits of your foot sticking out in places that footwear isn't designed for.

accommodating lumps and bumps, or you've got an interface with the surface now, which is not being managed in a healthy way.

You've either got new lumps and bumps, or you've moved a bit of protection, a fat pad or a fluid-filled sac called a bursa.

You've moved that out of the way because of changes in your feet.

So they're very, very, very common.

Plantar heel pain is another problem that we deal with very commonly.

Plantar heel pain is often trivialized because in general clinical encounters, it's largely considered as being something which is fairly trivial and largely self-limiting.

but for many many people it is not trivial and it's not self-limiting so the classic symptoms are pain on first weight bearing so pain when you first get out of a chair or when you first get out of bed in the morning and for some people that subsides but some people it doesn't ever subside completely and every time they've sat down then for 10 minutes it's a it's a problem again and it limits what they can do and is plantar heel pain the same as plantar fasciitis is that the same kind of thing it's

One of these sort of modernisms, because the plantar fasciitis implied inflammation in the fascia, which is a thick fibrous band underneath the sole of your foot.

And I think most tissue studies have shown that fasciitis isn't really a thing.

So we just call it plantar heel pain because it covers a whole bunch of things like what we would have called fasciitis or plantar bursitis or a bunch of conditions that all present in the same sort of way and tend to get grouped together.

It's not just shoes, but I mean, the bunions are a great example.

So we think that there's some sort of familial disposition to bunions because they run in families.

So there's something genetic going on.

But they're more prevalent in females who wear shoes with a tighter toe box, more likely to contribute to deformity.

So we think there's probably some sort of interplay between the genetic predisposition, so the likelihood of developing something, and then making sure it happens by wearing the wrong sorts of footwear.

This is the... The front part of your shoe, which is constraining everything.

Is that called the toe box?
