There are two common reasons for severe wear on the outside of the heel: one may be the habit of walking with a splayed foot. When there is a habit of walking with pigeon-toed feet, the back and outside of the heel come into contact with the ground before the back and inside of the heel. Every step of walking will cause the back and outside of the heel to rub against the ground, causing local wear and tear. If you walk with splayed feet, you need to check whether there is knee valgus, which is an X-shaped leg deformity. If there is no deformity, braces need to be corrected, which can change the wear and tear of the heels, and you can wear orthopedic shoes for appropriate correction. Another possibility is that there is slight varus in the ankle joint. Once the ankle joint has slight varus deformity, it will also cause serious wear on the back and outside of the heel. If this phenomenon occurs, you should go to a regular hospital for examination in time. If there are related deformities, timely correction and treatment are required.
