Sandals may feel great in the summer, but wearing them too often can lead to stubbed toes, blisters, or joint pain. Many sandals lack proper arch support and cushioning, increasing the risk of foot and leg issues.
Pain in your big toe joint can be due to a sudden injury like the sports-related "turf toe."1 Chronic health conditions like arthritis, bursitis, bunions, gout, and lesser-known conditions like sesamoiditis can also cause pain, joint stiffness, swelling, and a grinding sensation.

The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, but Achilles tendonitis, Sever disease, and bursitis are also frequent reasons for heel discomfort. Infections and other minor or severe injuries and disorders can cause throbbing, stabbing, burning, or aching pain in the heel.

The foot is a complex structure made up of 28 bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles, over 100 tendons and ligaments, and thousands of nerve endings. These work together to allow you to walk, run, maintain balance, absorb impact, and bear upper body weight.

Runners are, unfortunately, often prone to ankle injuries. But despite despite how many people suffer from sore ankles or ankle pain after running, it doesn't get the same attention as other common ailments like runner's knee or IT band syndrome. Ankles remain a rather neglected body part – at least until the problem becomes unmanageable or pain levels too high to tolerate.
