1. What are comfort heel pads?
Comfort heel pads are soft, padded inserts that go inside the heel area of shoes. They are designed to cushion and support the heels, reducing pain and discomfort. Our heel pads are made from high-quality materials like gel, foam, and cotton for optimal comfort.
2. How do comfort heel pads work?
Heel pads work by providing extra cushioning and support in the sensitive heel area. The thick padding acts as a shock absorber, softening each step and reducing pressure on the heels and balls of the feet. This helps relieve pain from plantar fasciitis, arthritis, pronation, and other foot issues that can cause heel discomfort. The pads also help stabilize the foot within the shoe.
3. When should I use comfort heel pads?
If you experience regular heel pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis, bone spurs, pronation, Achilles tendonitis or arthritis, comfort heel pads can help reduce pain and inflammation. They are also great for absorbing shock from exercise like running. And they provide relief if you are on your feet all day for work. Basically any time you need extra cushioning and support for your heels, our heel pads are an easy solution.
4. How do I use and care for heel pads?
Using heel pads is very easy - simply place them in your shoes so they fit smoothly under your heels. Make sure they don't shift around. Choose the appropriate thickness of pad based on your needs. Clean the pads regularly using soap and water and allow to fully dry before placing back in your shoes. Do not machine wash or dry them. Replace pads every 6-12 months when they become worn out.
5. Will heel pads fit all shoes?
Our heel pads are designed to fit most shoe styles and sizes. They are made from thin, flexible materials that mold to your heels. If needed, you can trim the pads with scissors to fit perfectly in your shoes. They work best in shoes with a backed heel, versus a slip-on style. If you are unsure about fit, contact us with your shoe brand and size and we can provide a recommendation.
