Can the wrong shoes cause knee pain?
Wearing the wrong kind of shoes can place strain on your knees and your hips. It might not sound like a big deal, but it is. Your knees and hips are the largest joints in your body and they’re responsible for supporting your weight. That’s why it’s so important to wear the right kind of shoes.
How can I get my knee to stop hurting?
Self-care measures for an injured knee include:
- Rest. Take a break from your normal activities to reduce repetitive strain on your knee, give the injury time to heal and help prevent further damage.
- Ice. Ice reduces both pain and inflammation.
- Heat.
- Compression.
- Elevation.

Can orthotics hurt your knees?
When your orthotics are a good fit for you, they will not cause knee pain. They will cushion and support your feet while making it easier to maintain good posture. Because no two people have an identical musculoskeletal system, customization is key to obtaining high-quality orthotics.
Why do orthotics hurt my feet?
Your orthotics were not properly fitted or designed, or are worn out. Improper design or fit is one of the top reasons for foot pain from orthotics. If you have an improperly fitting foot orthosis, it is often because you have chosen an off-the-shelf solution that does not fit your specific foot shape correctly.
Why do shoes with arch support hurt my feet?
The portion not supported by the midsole will be suspended in the air by the shoe’s upper. As the arch of the foot is squeezed against the upper, the upper pushes back against the arch. That force against the arch could cause pain. In this case, again, the more likely cause of the pain is the width, not arch supports.
Can shoes have too much arch support?
If you switched to a thicker arch support or one that runs the full length of the shoe, it might be too thick and too high. This could transfer your weight to the outsides of your feet, which could result in ankle pain.
