Do you have a stress fracture in your foot? The most common are metatarsal stress fractures (including 2nd, 4th & 5th), navicular stress fractures (aka stress fractures in the top of the foot) and calcaneus stress fractures (heel pain).

We go over the best stress fracture treatment options that include the best shoes and orthotics for stress fractures in the foot. Initially it can make sense to take some time off work and use a fracture boot or a fracture shoe. It then makes sense to transition into a great shoe and a great orthotic afterwards.
