Heel Pads
Heel pads are cushioned inserts placed inside shoes to provide extra support and comfort to the heel area. They are commonly made of materials like gel, foam, or silicone. Heel pads can help alleviate pain and discomfort caused by conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or heel spurs.
What can I use them for
- Cushioning: Heel pads provide extra cushioning and support to the heels, which can help alleviate discomfort and reduce pressure on the heels.
- Shock absorption: They can absorb shock and impact when walking or running, thereby reducing stress on the heels and ankles.
- Pain relief: They are often used to relieve pain associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, heel spurs, and bursitis.
- Correcting alignment: Certain types of heel pads, such as orthotic inserts, are designed to correct foot alignment issues by providing arch support and promoting proper foot mechanics.
- Preventing blisters: They can act as a protective barrier between the skin and shoes, helping to prevent friction and blisters on the heels.
