default
Posted on Tue, 16 Jun 2015
Question: Hi,

I bought new PUMA shoes and went for trekking. After coming back from it i developed pain in the heals and also found that my heals have developed cracks. Also my knees have started paining and the pain has spread to the lower back.

I never had any problem with any shoes before. Can you please tell the issue? I never had heal fissures before.

Thanks and Regards,
XXXX
