The gastrocnemius, soleus and peroneus longus muscles insert at the heel (calcaneus) by way of the Achilles (calcaneal) tendon.

Soleus
The Achilles tendon is attached to the calf muscle (gastrocnemius). It is also attached to the heel bone (calcaneus). Achilles tendon is also known as the calcaneal tendon (calcaneal hence the heel bone calcaneus).
The gastrocnemius muscle is located in the posterior, or back part of the lower leg. The calcaneal tendon, more commonly known as the Achilles Tendon, is what connects the gastrocnemius muscle to the calcaneus bone.
The tendon of triceps brachii insert on top of olecranon process of ulna. While that of triceps surae forms the archille's tendon and insert in calcaneus
The calcaneus is the name for the bone that makes the heel. It forms a large bulbous projection from the posterior and inferior part of the foot to which the calcaneal tendon (or Achilles tendon) attaches.
Plantar calcaneal enthesophyte is a growth that happens a where a tendon inserts into the heel bone on the bottom of the foot. It is more commonly known as a spur.

The diaphragm.
The Achilles tendon attaches the gastrocnemius muscle to the calcaneus.
== == The plantaris has a short muscle belly, but the longest tendon in the body. Its belly lies at an oblique angle along the popliteal space of the posterior knee between the gastrocnemius heads; its tendon extends down the length of the leg and attaches to the calcaneus. It arises from the Lateral condyle of the femur and inserts at the calcaneus.
The scientific name for tendon is "tendo." Tendons are strong connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, allowing for movement and providing stability and support to the body.
Achilles tendon
The action of the calcaneal tendon is to allow your soleus and gastrocnemius muscles to (plantar) flex your foot.
