Sever’s disease is a common ailment that befalls children which is brought about by continous pressure on the heel causing an inflammation in the growth plate of the Calcaneus that leads to pain. There are many different treatments for Sever’s disease including but not limited to heel cup or orthotics. Below I have listed what I believe are the best PUMA sneakers for Sever’s disease:
PUMA Voltaic 5– This is what I think is the best kids sneaker overall on the market for Sever’s disease. The PUMA Voltaic features an EVA midsole which is what most orthotics or insoles are constructed from. Then it has a 10 cell heel unit specifically designed for stress reduction and shock absorption, which is exactly what you are looking for in Sever’s disease. You want to take as much stress as possible off the heel and that is what you can accomplish with the Voltaic 5.
PUMA Whirlwind– If you are not a fan of the Voltaic 5 for some reason, consider the Whirlwind. It offers EVA as well as cushioning and compression to keep stress off the heel by featuring a cushioned footbed for your child’s foot.
