Sever’s disease is an inflammation of the growth plate in the heel. It is caused by repetitive trauma to the growth plate causing some inflammation in the area. This creates the pain that your child experiences. The key to treating Sever’s disease is getting padding in your heel such as a heel cup. Another way to treat it is to obtain some football cleats that will help comfort the foot and reduce the stress while playing football. Below I listed some football cleats I recommend for people with Sever’s disease:
Under Armor Kids Hammer Mid Jr Football Shoe- Sometimes choosing a cleat for a child with severs disease is as simple as looking at the cleat. Take a good look at this cleat. Look at all the padding in the heel. Look at all that padding. Remember our goal is to reduce stress on the growth plate. Do you not think all that padding will relive pressure? Additionally this cleat features foot cushioning as well.
Adidas Kids Goletto VI firm Ground Football Shoe- Again we can see the padding in the heel that is present just by looking, but this cleat also features a solid arch support. This cleat additionally provides a great deal of padding. The EVA midsole will also help reduce shock and stress on the growth plate.
Kids Alpha Menace Nike Football Cleat-One of my favorite materials when a child is suffering from Severs disease is to get them a shoe that use EVA as a midsole or footbed. That is exactly what this shoe has. This shoe features a Die Cut EVA footbed perfect for absorbing shock for a child with Severs disease.
