Your Extensor Tendon runs across the top of your feet. When this tendon becomes inflamed, it is called Extensor Tendinitis.
Extension Tendinitis can make it difficult to find comfortable shoes, as you need to consider the fit and proper arch support for alignment that suits your arch types.
Skechers shoes for Extensor Tendinitis have a roomier toe box fit, with lace-up features to adjust the fit or flexible mesh uppers. Skechers offer different cushioning and arch support features that help to align your feet and bolster them with the right cushioning specifically for this condition.
Extensor Tendinitis Symptoms and Causes
To understand Extensor Tendinitis, let us first look at what Tendinitis is.
A tendon is a body tissue that connects muscles to your bones; when these tendons become damaged with small tears, inflamed or painfully, and swollen, the condition is called Tendinitis.
Because there are different areas of our bodies that have tendons, the type of Tendinitis will refer to the area where the tendons are inflamed.
Your Extensor tendons are situated in your toes and fingers, and they are the tendons that allow you to move your toes and fingers. In your feet, your Extensor tendons help you to raise your toes and flex your feet.
- Symptoms of Extensor Tendinitis – One of the main symptoms of Extensor Tendinitis is pain at the top of your foot. It is usually exactly where your shoe laces are, and you will feel it the most when walking or running. There may also be visible swelling or a bump in the Extensor tendon that is injured or inflamed.
- Causes – Mostly, Extensor Tendinitis in your feet is caused by repetitive motion that causes the condition to develop over time. You can get Extensor Tendinitis from a sudden injury or from doing too many uphill workouts and not enough downhill. Unstable surfaces where you run or walk may lead to Extenso Tendinitis, and shoes that are too small or too tight may also lead to Extensor Tendinitis.
Treating Extensor Tendinitis at Home
Though you may need a healthcare professional for more severe Extensor Tendinitis, you can easily treat the condition at home for moderate cases.
- Rest – Take a break from activities that could cause the condition, and rest your feet to help with healing. You can use ice or heat for the pain and swelling and over-the-counter medication for pain and inflammation.
- Lace-Up – You will need to lace up your shoes differently or much lighter to prevent pressure on painful Extensor tendons.
- Stretching – Try to perform light stretching exercises to strengthen your muscles and relieve tight claves, which will help to prevent and heal the conditions.
- The Right Shoes and Orthotics – Make sure that the shoes your wear offer arch support for your specific arch type, whether high or low and that you get good underfoot cushioning and a proper fit. You can likewise use an insole or orthotic device for support. Shoes should not place excess pressure on the top of your feet and have a higher toe box.
Features of a Good Skechers Shoe for Extensor Tendinitis
- Uppers – We have specifically chosen Skechers shoes with more flexible mesh and knit uppers that will not place pressure on the top of your feet. The lace-up models allow you to adjust the fit, and most designs have a higher and roomier toe box fit.
- Cushioning and Support – You will need more supportive and stable cushioning for this condition, so we have opted for EVA and Goga Mat cushioning rather than the plush memory foam cushioning options from Skechers, or at least models with a firmer midsole if they do have a memory foam insole.
- Support – It is advised to choose shoes with stability features if you have a low arch or neutral features for high and neutral arches. Arch supports provide much needed alignment.
- Outsoles – Skechers shoes come with a durable rubber outsole. Some models with a rocker design outsole will also help take pressure off the Extensor tendons.
