Tuli's Heavy Duty Gel Heel Cups, Cushion Insert for Shock Absorption, Plantar Fasciitis, Sever’s Disease and Heel Pain Relief, Made in USA, Small, 1 Pair

We're moving, and I've been on my feet for days packing and moving boxes. I started to get a low back ache that traveled down my leg to my foot, which is a sign I've got a lot of pain incoming. Before it got worse, I bought these inserts, and the relief has been immediate!PROS* You can feel the springiness from the "waffle" cushion sending energy back, helping you to keep on going.* Clear, so they're not too visible.* Can be worn with or without socks (can help if your shoe fit isn't roomy).* Absolutely helped with a recurring issue I have with sensitive heels, and sciatica-like pain, when standing too long.* Covers a lot of my heel, which may provide some help when breaking in new shoes.* Gel is comfortable (doesn't move around), soft, and easy to clean. Haven't noticed any odd smells.CONS* Despite getting size small, it feels a bit tight in some sneakers. Wearing with my roomiest sneakers without socks feels most comfortable.* Not the most expensive, not drugstore cheap. I've worn for about two weeks. Would love if they hold up for months.TIP: Give them a little time to break in. At first, I thought the waffles were too wide-spaced and wobbly. By the next day, they'd compacted a bit, and were stable.Absolutely recommend these inserts! I've been able to keep going when I know in the past, I would've had to rest more to give my sensitive heels a break. A huge life improvement and well worth the money.TIP: If you're looking for a cheaper option, or don't have much room in your shoes, you might try Dr. Scholl's gel heel cups (https://amzn.to/4l3UwBx). They're more compact, and the pair I have has lasted for years, provides relief from more casual activities (hours of walking), and are about half the price.

These are by far the best heal cushion I have ever used! They are thick, but do not make my shoes to tight like other inserts tend to do. After reading some reviews that say they don't stay in place while putting shoes on, I was concerned about that but am happy to say I have not had them slip at all. I have used them in both slip on shoes as well as lace up shoes, with socks and without. They stay in place without fail. I have bursitis in one heal and only use them for that foot. I am on my feet roughly 8 hrs for work and probably another 3 to 4 hours at home. These have made it so I can do that with out extreme pain. They have made such a difference for me that I am ordering more so that I have enough for all my shoes and don't have to move them each time I wear a different pair.

Love, softer than power steps. However, there is no left and right designation, and I feel that my ankles roll a little bit. So i'm not actually walking in a completeystraight line. Whereas the power steps, do you have a right? And left designation, and I can walk better in a straight line. So I use power steps on a regular basis, but if my foot starts hurting, I'll start using these.Since they're softer

I feel like these cups are too flimsy. I have to put my finger in my shoe to roll the sides back up. They are very soft silicone. Some of my shoes are tight to start with and arthritis in my fingers makes it really hard to pull the edges back up. Initially they feel good. My problem is I have really bruised the bottom heel while walking around Disney for 7 days. After a month it has not resolved. I purchased these after the trip. I am still using them because I find they are better then just my shoes without them. I just wish the sides didn't roll and the bottoms were thicker.

Soft cushion for heel ailments. Sometimes a little tricky to put your heel into the cup without the sides folding down.

I used this for a "fat pad" thinning problem with my left foot. It has very good reviews and initially I thought it would do the job. It definitely is nicely padded and seems like it should work as described, but there are problems and I'll get into them here.They won't stay on at all unless you wear them in a shoe that has heel support in the back or put them on beneath your socks and that is really difficult to do as they are sticky and the sock clings to them. It's necessary to have your hands inside the sock as well as the cup in order to get it placed properly. That just can't be done otherwise. I have to use very thick woolen stretchy socks in the winter and any other sort of sock is much to tight for both your foot, the cup, and your hand at the same time. This was very difficult to get right and took time.I tape my heel to help with the thinning problem in the fat pad and I pretty much had it healed up and with no more pain.......until I tried to wear the cup all day. I also decided to put it onto my right heel in order to be balanced as these things are anything but stable to walk on.After one day of walking this way my heels on both feet began to hurt. I just ignored it.....you get days like this now and then, but the next day both heels were really sore. Eventually, I figured there could be no other cause than the cups so took them off for the rest of the day . By evening both heels were somewhat better and the next morning the pain in the right heel was pretty much gone. Still slightly sore in the heel with the fat pad thinning but I figure that will be OK by this evening.Now, a lot of people seem to like these and have no problem. Maybe it's just me, but I'm putting this out there so others can make a better decision.Hope this helps!

My podiatrist suggested I wear these to alleviate my heel pain, and the soft rubber cushion works very well for me. I wear these daily in my size 9 athletic shoes.
