Silicone Heel Protectors for Cracked Heels, Heel Spurs, Plantar Fasciitis - Gel Heel Pads, 4 Pairs, Unisex, Black and White

I am amazed how wonderful these cups are. I purchased them for my plantar fasciitis issue. My left heel hurts me if i walk or stand too long during the day. These cups are so soft and they relieve my pain. They even helped with cracked heels. I gave up on my heels long ago thinking they will never be smooth again. But here they are...after just one time of using those cups my heel became much better within hours. I was able to compare it since at first I wore the cup only on my left heel which was hurting. After I saw how much it helped with the skin cracks I started wearing the cups on both of my heels. Although my right foot doesn't hurt, it is still benefiting from the skin healing. Really awesome product. I am happy with the purchase.

First day of wear: Surprisingly comfortable, though I'm feeling some intermittent ever-so-faint stings, causing me to be concerned that it may pinch my foot, cut off circulation slightly and cause discomfort over time. I am a women's US size 10.5. Maybe it will stretch over time and avoid the circulation issue? Will update as daily experience offers more useful information. Fourth day of wear: Perfect. No issues. Bonus is that I often wear shoes that are too large for me due to a big toe bunion. These offer traction that keep my feet from sliding inside my shoes. Changing from 4 to 5 stars.

This product is good quality- thick, fit well and they don't come off! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because they're a little uncomfortable with shoes on, and that could be a natural thing since they fill the shoes more. I wear them around the house because my heels have been bothering me lately and they provide adequate cushion and alleviate the pain. They're easy to wash too!

good so far. they come with a powder on the outside to prevent sticking to themselves and so you can easily slide them on your foot. they fit snug and were easy enough to put on. im not sure how you're supposed to wear them but i put them under my sock to wear with docs. they were comfy and i didn't get any blisters from the boots but i would say make sure you have a shoe that is at least a size bigger than normal because the gel cushion slips a little and makes your foot move forward. i only wore them to work and i work at a desk so i dont minimal walking but the times that k did walk around, i could feel my foot sliding up and it started to make my toes hurt. not sure if they'll hold up for additional wears based on other reviews but they're okay so far aside from the foot moving forward a lot in the shoe.

These are a waste of money. They slide off & sideways. If they stayed put, they may be helpful. Don’t not recommend.

I have awful plantar fasciitis in in my left foot, and over the past few months it has gotten to the point where every step from the moment I get out of bed forward feels like I’m walking on Legos. I’ve tried just about every brace, band, support, and cream with mixed results. I do stretches to help it and I am under the care of a podiatrist. Sexy shoes are a distant memory. Even with all of the interventions, I still feel like I am walking on a Lego floor. Enter these bad boys. Do they cure my PF? No, of course not. They do, however, allow me to walk comfortably with minimal to no pain. They’re latex free, which is great for someone like me with allergies (I mention this because it’s frustrating to search reviews for that info and not be able to find it. You’re welcome, fellow latex avoiders). They’re made of silicone, which means they will stretch out over time. No big deal, get another from the pack.

So many of the reviews for this product spoke to the pain relief aspect, especially related to plantar fasciitis. I don't understand this at ALL, because from my experience, these heel cups are very ineffective. I have horrible PF, have had for about six months now. I've bought so many new shoes and new inserts and have been to therapy and a worthless foot doctor who just recommended stretching. DUH. Anyway, I'm pretty desperate and saw these, thought I'd try them out. Man, they do NOTHING at all for my pain. They're this thick, jelly-like wrap, almost like the heel of a sock, but not made of fabric. They fit snugly around the heel of the foot. I've tried them above the sock and under the sock and they don't do a thing for me. There's no support, no sponginess to soften heel strike, they peel off my foot in bed and don't stay on. In short, they don't provide any relief at all, so unfortunately, they're going back. I will say this though--if a person had rough, cracked heels, you could put a thin coating of petroleum jelly or "Working Hands" on the heel, then put this heel cup over that and it might help provide a snug cover to keep the lotion localized to do its job. So, for skin roughness and repair, these might be useful, but for relief of the bad PF, forget it.

Really helpful w heel pain. I use them when I go on walks and while walking around the house w shoes, sandals or barefoot. I have noticed a huge difference in my heels, though I cannot say all pain is relieved. The downsides of this product is that they cause my feet to sweat a bit, sometimes the strap that fits over the foot can be itchy, and they are a dirt and stubble magnet. That said, they are worth every penny considering you get four pair and can alternate or share if you want. One size fits most I would think. The black pair look more charcoal gray, but works with darker skin. I’m not sure if they are washable by hand, but will try when the time comes. If you suffer from hurting heels, give this a try!
