Baxter’s Nerve Entrapment is a condition that causes pain in the heel bone, and it is often misdiagnosed as Plantar Fasciitis. The Baxter’s Nerve is superficial and easy to irritate from trauma, tight shoes or ill-fitting insoles, leading to pain, pins and needles or numbness on the heel or underside of the foot.
This article will provide recommendations of the best off-the-shelf insoles for Baxter’s Nerve Entrapment and keep in mind that if this is unsuccessful, we specialise in the creation of custom insoles for conditions such as Baxter’s Nerve Entrapment and Plantar Fasciitis.

Best Insoles for Baxter’s Nerve Entrapment
We recommend the Pro II Welling insoles for Baxter’s Nerve Entrapment due to its narrow but dense shape, low arch height and cupped heel.
The cupped heel helps to stabilise the ankle to reduce pronation forces while the low arch provides support, but it is unlikely to pinch the Baxter’s Nerve, while the narrow fit allows you to fit the insole in most types of footwear.
We recommend Dr Scholls Orthotics due to their shock absorption, low arch height, wide fit and reinforced arch support.
The shock absorption reduces the impact on the Baxter’s Nerve when walking, while the low reinforced arch height provides adequate support to control pronation moments. As discussed in the video, this insole works best in a wide-fitting shoe or trainer.
