The Hidden Cause of Foot Pain

Are Your Shoes to Blame?

At Dr. Jon Williams’ podiatry office in Camarillo, one of the most common root causes of foot pain isn’t always a medical condition—it’s what’s on your feet. Ill-fitting, unsupportive, or worn-out shoes can silently contribute to a variety of foot and ankle issues. The good news? The solution is often simpler than you think.

Wearing shoes that are too tight, too loose, or lack arch support can lead to pain in the heel, arch, toes, and even your ankles, knees, and back. Conditions such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, ingrown toenails, and neuromas are often aggravated—or even caused—by poor footwear choices.

Dr. Williams helps patients identify the link between their shoes and their symptoms. With over 30 years of experience, he offers expert evaluations, custom orthotics, and personalized recommendations for shoes that match your foot shape, lifestyle, and activity level.

Whether you’re on your feet all day for work, training for a sport, or sending your kids back to school with new shoes, the right fit makes a world of difference. During your appointment, Dr. Williams can perform a pressure scan, gait analysis, and foot exam to determine exactly what your feet need to feel and function their best.

If you’re experiencing unexplained foot or ankle pain, don’t overlook your shoes as the culprit. Schedule a visit with Dr. Jon Williams today and take a step toward long-term foot health and comfort.
