Heel inserts

Our heels are put under a lot of stress when we move. Whether you are walking, running, exercising or just standing up during the day, your heels are subjected to thousands of impacts every day. Unfortunately, heel pain is very common and it is important that you take care of your feet to avoid both temporary and long-term heel pain. A heel insert provides comfortable shock absorption to the heel and can advantageously be used by those who suffer from heel spurs or other types of heel pain. If you have legs of different lengths, a cork heel is a good option that evens out the load on the body when walking and running.

Pain in the heel can be characterised in several different ways. Firstly, the pain can occur directly under the heel. But it is also common for it to hurt behind the heel, around the Achilles tendon. One of the most common causes of heel pain is overloading the broad tendon under the foot (plantar fascia). This often leads to pain under or on the inside of the heel. This is also known as a heel spur. Read more about heel spurs by clicking here.

Why should you use heel inserts?

Heel inserts relieve pressure on the heel and give the foot a comfortable slope. They are used to protect the feet from all types of heel problems and can be used both for prevention and pain relief. Most heel inserts fit the vast majority of shoe types such as work shoes, trainers, party shoes or walking/jogging shoes.
