OPPO Medical 6790 Pair of Blue Gel Heel Socks, 1 Size

A great product if you have a Haglunds Deformity aka Achilles Bursitis aka bumps on the back of your heels that are sensitive to shoes. I tried a few different padded socks and this is what I found works best to keep the big bumps on the back of my heels protected. While it's true they don't last long (I'm ordering my 4th pair after 16 months) they are better than other options and inexpensive. A lot of the lower reviews here appear to be people trying to use this product for plantar fasciitis. This product is not for that and would not provide relief from that.

First got these and was elated because they feel so soft that it literally felt as if I was wearing air cushioned basketball shoes. But, after wearing for a while I noticed, that the pad at the bottom, while protecting your foot from ground contact, makes for an unstable landing on your heel when it strikes - meaning that when your heel hits the ground, it rolls becasue of the gel at the bottom. This made my condition worse. Sadly, what can I do about it now that they are worn? Nothing. So, if you buy this product, by the time you realize it doesn't work for you, you're stuck. At least they're not that expensive. Chalk it up to the price of a good education. Of course, they could work for you. In that case, it's money well spent.

seemed to help heel pain for few days and then didn't

If you are buying this sock for padding for the heel to protect your heel from (((((impact))))) while walking, these are NOT the socks you are looking for! I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and these will NOT give me the padding I need! When I read "Oppo Medical GEL HEEL" I was expecting more cushion! These are very thin sleeves, basically...with a very thin gel coating inside...VERY thin coating! There os NO support...at all! They are like cut off nylon dress socks...! Back to shopping! PS Also...look carefully at the photo I posted...you can see CLEARLY that there is little to no padding on the heel (you can see my heel through the sock)! I can not imagine HOW anyone could feel heel/foot support from wearing this sock??? Certainly not if you are experiencing pain??? Right above the ankle, notice the loose strand of yarn...both socks are unraveling and one of the socks has a hole in it! I did not notice this hole until after I posted my comment above! I have added a photo of the hole...you can see my finger is poking through it!

Great product! Very comfortable, and two for the price of what most charge for one. Long lasting too. Will buy again.

I have skinny feet with no fat pad. That means my bones get very sore. I've had chronic foot pain for the last couple years. I've had MRI, X-rays, and seen two specialists. No help from any of them. I have gotten some relief from these little sleeves. I bought this one and another type of gel sleeve, but this is the better one by far. It is made better, of more comfortable material, and there are two instead of just one. (I only wear it on my one bad foot, not on the other.) I wear it in my shoe along with a gel insole. I also wear it to bed at night to give some help when I get up to go to the bathroom. When you have terrible foot pain, every little help is a big deal.

I have Insertional Achilles Tentinitis and Haglund's deformity in BOTH ankles. I've been using these for about a month inside my motorcycle boots. I cannot wear any shoes other than clogs or sandals. I bought one pair, I wear them 2-3 times a week, hand washing in between wearings and they still look and feel great! I could not ride with my husband anymore if it weren't for these….I just ordered two more pairs. FYI I wear a size 11 shoe and they fit fine….

Did not stand up to wear and tear the gel separated from the sock! And the color baby blue, it's not for babies, should be while, flesh, or black color

Good for heel area,,,no pain,,no dryness

Useful pair of gel socks

Not so comfortable.
