11 year old son has pain from toes up back of calves

My son has pain that starts in his toes and runs up the back of his legs, and wakes him up at night and makes him cry. He recently started up soccer again after not playing since last season. New gym shoes last week.
Any help would be appreciated

    Try having him stretch regularly. One way, up against a wall or a step. Put one foot slightly in front of the other, so that the toes are high up against the wall or step. Then have him lean forward onto that foot so that he feels the stretch near his knee, He should keep that leg straight to stretch higher up and he can bend it while leaning forward to stretch the lower part of the leg.
