Gel Heel Cushion Support for Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Pain & Achilles Tendinitis - Protectors & Pads for Men & Women

for some background i've had leg and ankle problems for a while now, i broke my ankle two years back and it never properly healed but even before that standing for more than 30 minutes would be downright excruciating sometimes if i didnt have the right footwear.i decided to buy these, not because of my foot pain but because i wanted to make a costume for a character that is nearly barefoot save for their ankles and heels (cringe i know) and i didnt want to stand on the bare floor without any protection or support for hours on end, and since they would be covered i figured tis could sort of act as some protection.anyway as soon as i tried them on and stood up, i couldnt stop smiling. i haven't felt ok to walk in so long, and for the first time in YEARS i actually couldn't stop just standing around. i never realized how much it hurt and how much better i could have been feeling. i later tried them while i did my exercises and again my legs arent screaming at me to stop. really a fantastic product.while they are great and if you have foot problems like me, i think its worth a shot to try, i think i should address really the only two problems i have with them.1. they get sweaty pretty quickly.>maybe i'm just sweaty naturally or whatever but whenever i take these off even if i wear them for a few minutes the material would get kind of clammy and so would my feet. which was more so weird because theyre not hot or anything to wear so i'm not really sure why they make you SO sweaty. i think maybe wearing a sock between the cap and your foot *might* help but honestly i don't know.2. the gel on the inside flattens super quick.>now they still work and are still comfy and all that its just after the first two times i wore them they kind of flattened. not a big deal, but i didn't really wear them for *so* long. maybe i'm too heavy or something for these or i apply too much pressure on my heels when i walk or stand, but it did happen.overall considering the price and everything else i am extremely satisfied with my purchase and intend to buy another pair in the future, but really do be aware of the things i mentioned.

Good product. Helps with pain on bottom of heel. Took off a point due to cannot wear with regular shoes. material is too bulky- I wear these at home with my soft soled backless sandals.

I was hopeful and I wasn't let down. Many years ago, I was standing on a box that crumpled under me and my heel came down REALLY hard on the floor. I've been dealing with occasional pain ever since in my right heel. Whenever it flares up, there's little that I can do to alleviate the pain, but I still have to work, walk and stand. When I saw these on Amazon, I was skeptical, but hopeful. I am SO glad that I purchased these. They haven't made the pain bearable; they've made it a non-issue. My shoes fit over them easily without feeling tight.

Fit was great, definitely helped alleviate my heel pain but they got holes worn through them in less than two months. Very disappointing as the pair I had before these lasted almost two years!

I ordered the gel inserts because I have arthritis in my foot due to a major surgery following a shattered heal bone 10 years ago and it's painful to walk. I tried the inserts on several occasions and found that not only did I notice a positive difference, but my foot seemed to hurt worse. They are extremely thin with hardly any cushion support at all. I would not order them again and will not use them again either. Instead, I found a good pair of Reebok tennis shoes that do wonders. Save your money and buy better shoes!

Relief

Meh. These are stupid. They feel weird and offer very little protection for my heels.The stick on/shoe insert heal pads work way better.Should have sent this back but missed the window.

Good product
