mostly heel, because when you walk, both of your feet when you walk you have to pick up your heel when one foot is on the ground when you walk, then the heel goes back down, and sometimes your heel might start to get pain, if you walk extremely far away

∙ 6y agoWebMd explains that the foot has a thick, fibrous band of tissue under the foot called the "fascia" which reaches from heel to toe. When this tissue is overly stretched or exerted it gets inflamed, and becomes painful when walking or running or even standing. Of course, you may want to see a foot specialist. But also, you can try a specialized shoe insert called heel orthotic. I like "Heel Defender" on Amazon.
