Posterior tibial tendonitis is a condition that causes inflammation of the posterior tibial tendon, which runs along the inside of the ankle and helps to support the arch of the foot. When this tendon becomes inflamed, it can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the ankle and arch. In severe cases, it can even lead to flatfoot deformity.
Wearing the right shoes can help to reduce pain and inflammation and prevent further damage to the tendon. The best shoes for posterior tibial tendonitis are those that provide good support and stability, and that have a low heel and a wide toe box.
