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

Life saver for bone spurs

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.

good feel when in place ;; active movement: shift these out of place ,, but are very comfortable well made normal activity these are great

I bought these to help ease symptoms of plantar fasciitis. They didn't help my heel, and they pushed my toes into the front of my shoe. The are very nice quality, but didn't work for me.

I used to be an avid runner but due to pain in the back of my heel I could never go for too long. I suffer from Haglund deformity on the back of both heels which causes easy irritation of the back of the heel as it rubs with the back of the shoe--the inflammation was often debilitating. For the past 3 years, I was not sure the answer and often resorted to not running at all to try to "rest" the heel. Those days (fingers crossed) are over thanks to these heel cups! After inserting them, I went on a quick 3 mile run and felt some same discomfort at first, but just needed to tighten my shoe laces which helped. I continued to run doing track workouts and trail run (usually impossible in the past) and with the heel cups, I was able to complete workouts pain free! In fact, mentally I kept "expecting" pain since I was used to it but slowly I'm accepting the fact those days are in over. The heel cups are simple and fit into any shoe (cleats, running shoes, work shoes) and though they are effective, they are not bulky at all. I recently bought a second pair because I got tired of switching them from shoe to shoe--and it was my pleasure to financially support a great company and a great product. Pros: Fits easily, very effective if you have heel problems (bottom or back of heel), takes strain off from impact of running Cons: Wish they would sell a 2 pack or 3 pack for slightly cheaper :) but worth every penny anyways Overall: this product is a game changer for me and even if you dont have exact same heel problem, it will make a positive impact to reducing stress of walking, running, sports--haven't tried this in my cleats but eager to see how they work

I now am wearing these in my boots and closed shoes. They really help ward against plantar fasciitis.

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!

Night and day inserts. I have used over a dozen heel cushions for my plantar fasciitis that will not go away. Even with the other cushions and heel pads, I still found myself slightly limping. I inserted these heel cups and immediately when I stood up, not even a slight pain in my heel, pain went 100% away. I have walked to work, taken the train and spent an entire day at Disneyland - no pain during or at the end of my day. The gel on these cups are extremely comfortable and squishy with no noise. The only drawback with these cups is that it does take up a little space in the back of your heel so if your shoes fit perfectly now, they may be a little tight on your toes. I wear an 8 1/2 size shoe - high top converse.
