Intoeing

Intoeing is a condition caused by curving inward of the feet when walking or running. Young children normally outgrow this condition without special shoes.



The strongest and largest tendon, the Achilles tendon connects muscles in the lower leg with the heel bone. Sports that tighten the calf muscles, such as basketball, running and high-jumping can overstress this tendon and cause a strain (Achilles tendinitis) or a rupture. A direct blow to the foot, ankle, or calf can also cause it.
