THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY.
Amul is not only the cause of the heel pain of your children.
The most common cause of pediatric heel pain is a disorder called calcanealapophysitis which usually affects 8- to 14-year olds.
Heel pain is caused by other conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, bursitis, bone bruises or fractures.

Sometimes, the simple strategy--Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation--resolves pain, but when healing does not happen soon, it’s time for clinical evaluation.
Anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, or other treatments tailored for patients may be necessary.
Preparation and recognition of warning signs can help prevent or reduce the severity of heel pain.
Supportive shoes are a must, but it’s not always obvious when to switch shoes or adapt them for the best fit.
Consider these guidelines:
• Use inserts to raise the heel, especially in flat-footed cleats
• Discard shoes that caused pain. Don’t use them for another sport
• Wear well-constructed shoes designed for specific sports
• Switch cleats often because they are not supportive shoes.
Don’t skip warm-up or cool-down exercises.
HOPE THAT HELPS.
