Where is the Achilles tendon? This tendon is just above the heel in the back of the foot. It connects the heel to the pair of muscles in the calf and is the most commonly ruptured ligament in the body. Tendinitis is also fairly common, often with overuse by runners or athletes.

Since continued high heel use can damage your foot, it’s wise to seek podiatric treatment when you start experiencing more pain than fatigue at the end of a day in your shoes.
