There is a tendon by the same name which connects two major calf muscles to the back of the heel.

 Wearing heals for too long can cause severe pain in the long run. To reduce the redness and cuts caused by the heeled footwear during dry season, soak your foot in essential oils. There is a simple exercise to relax your muscles after prolonged use of heeled shoes.

Try to stand on your toes for a few seconds and then relax. Repeat this 3-4 times. This will stretch your leg muscles. If wearing high heels has caused cramps in your feet, you need to roll a ball under them to sooth the pain. Gently roll an anti stress ball under you foot for 10 minutes with least pressure. Repeat the same for the other foot too and see the difference for yourself. Apart from these exercises, wearing special gel insoles can also sooth your feet to a great extent. They prevent your toes from feeling tight, eliminating the cause of severe pain. Take care of your feet...
