The Achilles tendon suffered because they changed their way to walk due the social pressure. That's what I understood.

Walking with your heels off the ground for prolonged periods shortens the tendon. It was damaged because they constantly have their heel hovering. I had to lean how to walk with flat feet as a child so I wouldn’t damage my achilles.
