Heel That Pain Plantar Fasciitis Insoles | Heel Seats Foot Orthotic Inserts, Heel Cups for Heel Pain and Heel Spurs | Patented, Clinically Proven, 100% Guaranteed | Hybrid, XL (Men's 13-15)

I've only had this product for maybe 4 days.I have plantar fascitis and a heel spur that I've been dealing with on and off for a few years. I have the $400 or thereabouts custom orthotics, I've gotten the cortisone shots, have the tennis ball under my desk, done the frozen water bottles.Everything worked SOMETIME to some extent, meaning that it made things somewhat better. A few times after months and months the pain would actually go away.I will honestly say I thought these heel cups were outrageously priced. I would have thought that $10 - $15 would be a far more reasonable price. I"ve bought heel cups and heel shock supports before and these are significantly more money.nevertheless I bought this.I can report that I've now had 4 days pain-free. To be perfectly honest while I'd be upset if these stopped working tomorrow, the four days of ZERO pain are something I probably would pay $6 a day for... so I've already gotten my money's worth.I will nonetheless report back if they stop being effective, which is of course a possibility if my foot gets "used to them" and starts being messed up in a different way.Of course this doesn't mean these will work for YOU. my podiatrist told me that everything I've tried has worked for some significant percentage of his patients so this definitely looks to be one of those "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" situations.At any rate... in case it helps anyone make up their mind here are more details about my situation:1. plantar fasciatis injury.2. heel spur3. Worst pain in the am when waking up... and stepping out of bed to the point that I'd sometime have to walk on the tip of my right toes to diminish the pain. Yes I own the nighttime splint... I hate it... and I can't say I've seen that help4. Pain also during the day, getting up from a desk after sitting, even for as short as maybe 45 minutes. Not as bad as the pain in the am but definitely something that would cause me to take the first 50 steps slower than I otherwise would5. When warmed up the foot was pretty much fully functional. I do significant amounts of cardio workouts (mostly Zumba) and once my feet have warmed up I can do EVERYTHING the instructor can do at high intensity6. The only shoes I own that I would truly feel comfortable in (AFTER about a week of hating them - I was told it would be this way) is a pair of bierkenstocks (the hard sole...the soft one is supposedly instantly comfortable but overall less supportive)Surprisingly after half a day of wearing these things on saturday I noticed that when I woke up on sunday morning I was in FAR LESS pain than I normally would. monday was even better and this morning I'd say I was pain free. I'm talking when getting out of bed in the am, barefoot on tile. With these on in my sneakers I've been 100% walking-pain free (I say walking because I also have some other form of general pain in my heel that comes and goes and that is not pressure-related... meaning it might or might not hurt while I'm walking and it might or might not hurt even if I'm sitting with zero pressure on the foot ... this has NOT changed at all over the past 4 days. We'll see if time heals all heels :P

After 8 months suffering with Plantar Fasciitis in BOTH feet; of spending a ton of money trying various shoes, contraptions, splints, socks, etc. - I swear, these heel cups were my savior! I went into a store to buy "yet another" shoe insert to try to relieve my pain and the man assisting me steered me to these instead. He explained how these are made for PF; to put pressure in the exact spot in the heel area needed to help relieve the heel pain and stretch the plantar fascia.Amazingly, I noticed instant relief the minute I put them in my shoes. I was shocked at the seemingly, too good to be true, "instant relief" - wanted to hug they guy (as those who suffer from PF can imagine)! Now, I will say, these are NOT an instant, miracle cure - and he was the first to tell me that and advised me how to wear them. You will need to start out slowly wearing these, increasing your "wear time" a little each day. After about 20 minutes of wearing them the first day, my feet DID begin to hurt again, as he told me they would. As he suggested, I gradually increased my wear time a little each day until I could actually tolerate wearing them the entire day without pain; at which time, I knew they were doing their job as my overall pain - even when NOT wearing them, was much less than before. I still "knew they were there" in my shoe, as they continued to do their job, but they were no longer caused increased discomfort after a certain amount of wear time.After 3 months of faithfully wearing them, I was literally pain free while wearing my Asics WITH these heel cups. I still have some residual pain when walking barefoot or standing barefoot for prolonged periods but I can walk, in my Asics with these heel cups for MILES with no pain. Give them a try... Compared to the money I have spent on shoes and various splints, etc. - these are pennies - try them. These just might be the answer (or a huge part of the answer) for you too!

These are terrible. The fascia bar sits too far back and is too high and hard. I bought the gel ones so it should be soft. Not to mention there is no cushion whatsoever in the heel. These caused severe foot pain. On the order page it said free returns, so when I went to return them I was disgusted to find the order page flat out lied and they can not be returned. DO NOT PURCHASE THESE!!!! They are a total waste of money!!! I would not have tried them if I knew I was being lied to and they could not be returned!!!

I honestly did not want to get my hopes up for this product just due to trying out other insoles that did not help what so ever. I absolutely LOVE these heel insoles...I have suffered from heel pain for so many years & nothing has worked. I do the stretches, I've purchased the special socks & other insoles and as much as I would want to walk more I just couldn't; however these insoles helped me personally almost immediately & I am not even one to write reviews but I truly truly wanted to make sure the word got out to everyone that has suffered like me, YOU MUST PURCHASE THESE!! I promise you you will thank me later! Oh and I wear them with almost every shoe, they fit true to size & I can walk again with no pain I don't know I just love them!

My loving wife bought these horrible demon things in the hopes that they would help with the pain caused by plantar fasciitis. Well, buddy... that’s not what happened. I wore these things for a single work day, and it caused so much additional pain that I threw them in the garbage.By wearing them it even caused my other foot to hurt which had nothing wrong with it before placing the inserts inside my shoes. It also causes a ripple effect that caused pain in my ankles, my knees, hip, and lower back.It says “from awkward to awesome in four weeks!” on the box. If you wear these things for four weeks, I’d be surprised if you weren’t dead by the end of those 4 weeks. JUNK!
