Heel Seats by Heel That Pain | Foot Orthotic Inserts | Heel Cups for Heel Pain, Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spurs

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

I am extremely impressed with this product. It is supportive but discrete. Have worn daily since it was delivered. The bone spur/heel pain is almost completely gone while wearing despite 12 to 14 hour days on my feet. I appreciate that they don’t adhere to the shoe and can be used with different shoes. This is a premier product and I will likely order another pair just in case I happen to misplace this one. I would recommend without any reservations. Thank you for allowing me pain free days and a return to normalcy!! I will always be grateful! I am in health care and there is no way I could continue to work without this product !

I recently developed plantar fasciitis, and have tried quite a few of the numerous products that are on the market in order to try and ease the pain. But these inserts are one of the only things that finally made a positive difference, at least for me.I purchased a pair of the gel inserts and a pair of the regular inserts from this company (Heel That Pain) because I wasn't sure what the difference would be. I definitely prefer the gel. They are a very flexible silicone material, whereas the standard ones are more firm. I like the shape of the Heel That Pain inserts because the support is right in front of the heel pad on your foot. Many other inserts have a cushion in the heel area, which pressed up against my foot and actually cause more pain. The description claims to massage the Plantar Fasciitus tendon in the bottom of your foot, and for me that's exactly what it did! I put these inside my tennis shoes and begin feeling relief by the end of the very first day. They do feel a little strange at first, because the bump is quite firm against the bottom of your foot (especially the first couple of days when it is in pain and tender) but you get used to it after a few days of wearing them consistently.I actually hoped that I would be able to graduate to the standard inserts after these became comfortable, like going from a light rub to a deep tissue massage for my foot. I got to the point where I could wear the gel inserts in my shoes and walk around all day & I felt a little to no pain! When I switched to the more firm inserts, although they have the same shape, for some reason it just irritated that tendon and it was not as comfortable for my foot. Switched back to the gel ones, and that pain was relieved again. I will not say that my issues are completely resolved from using these, but they definitely make a difference and I can definitely tell the difference when I'm not wearing them. They work best in my tennis shoes, and my feet still seem to hurt if I wear some of my other pairs of shoes, with the insert but they are pretty easy to switch from one pair to another and try.Obviously these will not work for everyone, but I would definitely recommend giving them a try, and if one doesn't work, maybe try the other...obviously there is some kind of difference despite them seeming almost exactly alike, because one hurts my foot and the other helps the pain. My only issue with these is that they seem to wear out fairly quickly. It could be because I wear them all day every day, and they are softer material. But in my opinion, they are definitely worth the money for the relief that they have offered for my specific situation.

After playing sports my heals flares up and then thinking about having to be in work boots all week kills me. But I get relief and the pain goes away when using the wedges after the first time.

Pensé que las taloneras estaban completas con altura (sin hueco en el talón). No funcional para lo que necesito.

Sono comode e pratiche da inserire nella scarpa, aderiscono bene, ammortizzano e quindi alleviano il dolore, ma non hanno fatto nulla nel mio caso per guarire la fascite plantare, non l'hanno migliorata neanche.

I was very sceptical about these, having bought everything for plantar fasciitis pain relief that exists in the world, with no joy.I have been wearing these for over a month, and initially, they were a bit uncomfortable. But after a couple of days, you get used to them and genuinely don’t even notice them anymore. And they work *amazingly* well. You’ll notice that after your first day of wearing them. I find my offending foot doesn’t hurt *at all* the day after I wear these. However, if I spend a day indoors without wearing these at all, the plantar fascia pain comes back slightly the next day. So I’ve actually just bought a pair of the indoor heel seats by this company.I am a keen runner and have been able to run 12k a day, four or five times a week, without any significant pain (possibly a little niggle here and there, but these last few days have been zero pain).I used to wake up and have to hop to the bathroom on my one good foot, and now I can just walk straight there, like in the old days, before I had any heel pain!I went to the hospital last week for the steroid injection, (which had been booked in Jan) but when they did the ultrasound they said my plantar fascia looked really healthy and they didn’t need to go through with the injection in the end.These have literally changed my life. I highly recommend. (Along with a bit of ice for the heel and an ibuprofen just in case, if you’re into running).
