Heel Spurs: Why Barefoot Shoes May Help

Episode von Der SOLE RUNNER® Barfußschuh Podcast von Thorsten Ludwig · 8. Mai 2026 · 3 min

A heel spur is a bony growth on the underside of the heel bone. But interestingly, the bone itself usually isn’t what causes the pain. What really hurts is the irritated tissue around it, especially the plantar fascia and nearby structures.

And that’s why this topic matters so much.

Many people ask whether barefoot shoes can help. And my answer is: yes, they can — but not always right away.

In the early phase, when the heel is inflamed and every step hurts, you need relief first. You may need rest, treatment, and support. But once the acute pain has calmed down, barefoot shoes can be a very helpful part of recovery.
