Shoe Inserts & Insoles for Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles flare-ups often react to two things: hard impact and extra stretch. That’s why many shoe inserts for Achilles tendonitis use a slight heel lift. The lift reduces how much the Achilles has to work each time your heel hits the ground, and many of these insoles utilize a heel cup to cradle it and limit excessive, uncomfortable wobble.

You’ll also find inserts for Achilles tendonitis with measured arch support that keeps your foot from collapsing as you walk. When the arch support drops too much, the heel shifts, and the Achilles takes that extra strain. Supporting your arch means keeping your heel aligned, so the tendon doesn’t have to fight unstable motion.

We avoid rigid, high-profile designs because they force the foot into position. Instead? We choose support that stabilizes the heel and midfoot first, then absorbs impact where you land. That balance is what helps limit the irritation you feel in the morning and prevents the tendon from getting even more painful as the day goes on.

Don’t Settle for ‘Good.’ Get ‘Betta’

Why there ain’t no betta’ than Chiapetta! We don’t just randomly pick a product based on popularity at the time or star ratings. Our expert team leans on an accommodative approach—that means we match shape, support, and materials to how your foot loads and moves.

Some people need more lift, others need better rearfoot control, and many need both, plus shock absorption that holds up to long-term, daily wear.

Store-bought Insoles Aren’t Enough
