Heel Pain

Dear Doc, I am having trouble buying running shoes and tennis shoes.
The problem is that the shoes I buy always have a tendency to grab my heel and when I walk it feels like my heel is trying to separate from my foot.
Can you give me any clues as to why this only happens to me and what to do about it?
It seems like the back of the shoe cuts too far and too low into my foot.Michael Eng

    You might have a very narrow or short heel. You could put a heel cushion in the back of the shoe, preferably under the insole. See if this helps. If there is a specialty running shoe store in your area, they may be able to ofer suggestions.
