Plantar Fasciitis Protector for Shoes - Welnove Heel Cups for Pain Relief, Inserts & Pads for Achilles Tendonitis, Support Cushion for Women & Men (W 9.5-13 / M 8.5-14)

Godsend for heel pain. Good shock absorption and best quality. I even bought a second pair. These are washable and convenient to put on, unlike the other heel pads which were not in place. -A must have for plantar Fasciitis - heel pain.

NOTHING HAS COME CLOSE TO GIVING MY MOM ANY RELIEF FROM HER PLANTAR FASCIITIS. UNTIL NOW. (THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL REVIEW, IT'S JUST 1 PERSONS EXPERIENCE) PROS: - THIS IS THE FIRST PRODUCT, IN A LONG LIST, THAT HAS BROUGHT MY MOM PAIN RELIEF (THAT IS HER EXPERIENCE) - WHILE YOU CAN BUY SOCKS TO WEAR, MANY ARE NOT A FULL SOCK, THE HEEL IS ACTUALLY FLAT IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, BUT THIS HAS A CUSHIONED SOLE - IT WRAPS AROUND & LETS YOU VELCRO IT TO THE SIZE/SWELLING YOU NEED - IT STAYS IN PLACE - IT LOOKS GREAT, & CAN BE WORN UNDER A SOCK - SHE'S WORN IT A WEEK & HAS HAD LESS PAIN EVERY DAY (WHEN SHE TAKES IT OFF THE PAIN IS WORSE) CON: - CAN YOU WASH? IT IS A PRETTY PALE COLOR = CAN EQUAL GETTING DIRTY FAST. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ON BOX (SHE WILL WASH GENTLY BY HAND & IS WEARING SLIPPERS / SOCKS AT HOME TO KEEP THEM CLEANER)

It took me a while to find a pair of these that I was pretty sure wouldn't give me sensory problems and these are perfect in that regard. The fabric is soft, moreso on the outside, but the inside isn't just bare neoprene. The bottom has a nice gel pad (maybe 1/4" thick at the edges) that tapers to an open section for heel pressure relief. The Velcro on the strap is about 1.5" on each side, allowing for decent adjustability. However, if you need to adjust it larger, it will expose the scratchy part of the Velcro which is facing the top of your foot. (Edit: you can easily flip these inside out to have the exposed Velcro facing away from your foot) My only issue was sizing. The large is sized for women's size 9.5+. I wear a 9.5 wide with large ankles and a high instep, so that's what I chose. Unfortunately, it's quite loose around the bottom of my foot and would likely be uncomfortable in a shoe. The fabric extends a little to far forward on the sole of my foot and the Velcro is barely connected because I have adjusted the strap so far. Unless you have very wide feet, I would get the small if you are within 2 sizes.

Edit: i originally gave these a 5 star review but after 1 day working on hard concrete floors, these things chafed my heels something fierce. Get a size down from your foot size unless you have really large feet (height wise.) I was a bit skeptical about this product at first, but after trying them on and walking on them over my socks and in my boots (which they fit snugly in place) i may never walk without these on. I broke my right heel almost a year ago to date and have been suffering from almost debilitating heel pain ever since then. I also walk in a way that puts alot of pressure on my heels. Once i wear through these, I'm most definitely buying them again!

I seldom write reviews but I am singing my praises about this one. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and right now my heels are killing me. I put these on and I have such great relief. They support my arch as well as cushion my heel. I slept with them on and when I got out of bed in the morning, I could walk without much discomfort at all. These don't take away all the pain but they sure make walking bearable. They don't fit well into shoes but are great for slippers and sandals.

Recently developed plantar fascitis of the heel. Such fun! After reading many reviews of many products I decided to try this gel heel protector. It really helps a great deal. I only wear it in the house as it is carpeting and tile. Stepping on tile can be a real jolt but this protector works as advertised. When I walk outside I am wearing memory foam sneakers which work very well or yoga mat flip flops for short walks.

Not what I expected. Worked ok if all your doing is sitting. The silicone slid in the the material, and hurt my foot. The strap did not feel like it was at the right angle for fitting over the foot, which affected the ability to properly secure in place.

I purchased these for my child (who is a dancer) who has a bone bruise; definitely super helpful to protect the foot while healing. It was a bit challenging to fit in a dance shoe with this on, so would love to see a thinner stretchy sock type material because it’s a bit bulky, but overall serves the purpose.

Buenas, Voy a ir por puntos para hacer la review más amena: Como pone el subtitulo, es una opinión como cliente Vine. La presentación está bien. Producto en que viene en su propio envase, que se abre fácil. La construcción es buena, aunque es un producto que dependerá del uso que le deis pues se irá desgastando más lento o más rápido. Obviamente no es de por vida. El gel amortiguador es bueno y no excesivo. No parece que lleves altillos para entenderme. Me vienen bien para cuando me hago alguna lesión. Como hago mucho deporte y vario pintos, es común que me haga daño en varias partes del cuerpo entre ellas los tobillos :). Aunque es una buena solución para los talones, no recomiendo usarlas de golpe mucho tiempo. Sino la parte delante (dedos sobre todo) empieza a molestar y para no acostumbrarse. A día que estoy haciendo la review el precio es de 16,99€ Resumiendo es un producto que me gustó. Espero que os haya servido de ayuda esta review! Un Saludo! Nicola

Helped with heel soreness due to plantar fascia

I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and had sleepless nights in pain as a result of walking around on hard floors at home (living in a hot climate) and exercising with inadequate heel protection in my shoes. Doctors advise both rest and also comfortable shoes / slippers with padded heels to absorb the impact. I prefer to use Welnove Heel Protectors at home because they do protect the heel, easy to wear, absorb the impact, washable and they don't make my feet sweat (unlike slippers). I bought 5-pairs so I can rotate them but I probably only really need two (one wash/one wear). They are not quite as comfortable as wearing slippers at home but they have brought pain relief and have worked for me.

Me gustó mucho, es muy cómodo y suave, solo que me quedó un poco grande en la parte donde se ajusta. Si lo recomiendo mucho!
