Heel Protectors, Heel Cups for Heel Pain, Heel Support, Thicken&Breathable, Idea for Plantar Fasciitis Relief, Bone Spur, Achilles Tendinitis, Gel Heel Pads, Silicone Heel Cushion for Men & Women

I got these because they were affordable and hoping they would help a little. I have a severe achilles tendonitis with a bone spur broke off under the tendon. At this point I am very likely going to have surgery but I can not at this time.I tried these on first with no socks on. I was a bit worried because they were a little loose even on my foot that is slightly swollen and I wear a wide shoe. Then I walked on it and I got tears in my eyes because it was so comfortable I could walk with very little pain. they are no slip and that saved me from a tumble more then once. I was concerned by how it would hold up because I am a large woman. The gel pad is great even after weeks of use. I have neuropathy in my toes so they are always cold, these fit perfectly over my fuzzy slipper socks. Because of the no slip grippers on it I don't recommend wearing these under your socks only because it grips really good and it is difficult to get the sock on and off over it. I love this simple, easy, and affordable product! I will be ordering more for my family and friends who have foot issues!

I bought two sets of this product. And they are very effective for my discomfort. However to work out I’ve added Nikken magnets to help with the pain. The reason why I gave this transaction a four star is because one of my heels there was a loose thread that was about 3/4 of an inch long. Easy to see, when I pulled on the thread gently the seams would rip out. So I will have to pull out my serger to sew the product properly. It was either this or dig into my pockets and mail it back at my expense for a complete and (hopefully) undamaged product. This is not the first time with Independent products sold on Amazon that I have ran across something like this issue. It’s a no-brainer that products should be inspected before sent out.

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.

I was really hoping these would help my feet but they are not comfortable. Hoping I can get used to them.

If you like to strap bulky things around your foot for no apparent reason, get these! I see no point in how they are suppose to help with plantar issues. There is supposedly a cup for your heel, but it's a hole punched in the bottom of the fabric with compresses into nothing. Ok, not nothing, maybe .0000037 inch difference in thickness from the surrounding area. The velcro fasteners are too big, itchy, and annoying. My "not-a-doctor" suggestion for plantar fasciitis would be to buy arch supports it deal with that tendon causing all your problems. I spent over a year with stupid ideas about heel pain and how to deal with it. It would make sense to use a cushion in your shoes, but that wasn't the solution. Stop walking around without shoes on and put something in your shoes that pushes your arches back up. I wear Birkenstock Sandals around the house now. Not a Birkenstock "kind of person" but OhMaLord! What a difference! I have gel arch inserts in all of my shoes, now. My heel pain is gone! Now, we just need to find arch inserts which stay in place, because it's pain in the dupa when they travel all around your shoes each time you put them on.

This is my second time purchasing these heel protectors, and I can confidently say they are great! I initially bought them because I was experiencing what felt like a heel spur, and they’ve been a lifesaver.These protectors offer amazing support, and I can feel the difference when I wear them. However, I must admit that, from a fashion perspective, they might not be the most stylish accessory. Being a female, I can appreciate the concern about the aesthetics of wearing them.In my experience, they work best when paired with flip-flops or open shoes. They don’t blend well with tennis shoes or closed footwear, and they might be noticeable to others. But here’s the good news: when you wear them with long pants and a comfortable mule shoe, they’re hardly noticeable, and they provide excellent comfort and support.So, if you’re in need of heel support, I highly recommend these protectors, especially when paired with the right outfit. They’ve been incredibly helpful, and I’m quite pleased with the comfort they offer.

I used the first pair so often that I needed to get a new pair - they don't hurt my feet, and are great for my heel spurs! They fit well too.

Buen producto

Feels great, is secure enough to wear in house with no slippers ( hate slippers) , but really helps with my heel bursisits

Did not relieve heal pain as advertised. It did relieve my pain a bit.

It works very well but don't overdo it on the first couple of uses.
