The exact cause of Haglund deformity is unknown, but it is thought to be caused by a combination of several factors. Possible risk factors include:
- A genetic predisposition or family history of Haglund deformity
- Certain foot structures, such as a high arch or a tight Achilles tendon
- Wearing stiff-back shoes, such as pumps, dress shoes, ice skates, or work boots
It is possible to reduce the risk of developing Haglund deformity by wearing comfortable, well fitting shoes with adequate cushioning and to avoid placing excessive pressure on the heel bone.
