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

Not what you would expect. I bought these inserts because of a heel spur. Were working great until about three weeks into use. I am 84 years old and started having balance issues. Almost fell twice. I started to worry when walking until I realized my gait was off balance. Stopped using, an immediately noticed the difference. Also my sciatic nerve was acting up. Be careful if you have leg, foot or muscle problems.

We’ve been trying a few different heel inserts to help manage my child’s Sever’s condition, including Heel Seats by Heel That Pain, Tuli’s, and gel socks. My child is very active in sports—especially baseball—so finding something that provides real comfort and support is really important for us.Unfortunately, none of these options provided significant relief. While all three had decent reviews, we didn’t find them as effective as we had hoped. Of the three, my child preferred the Heel That Pain inserts the most—they offered the best comfort comparatively—but even those weren’t a game changer.We understand Sever’s isn’t something that resolves overnight, but we were hoping for a bit more support or relief from these products. At this point, we’re considering a consultation with a podiatrist to explore better long-term solutionsI wish I had more answers and could give a full five star review, but we are still searching!

Did not help my heel pain. The arch support feels very comfortable and I love that it doesn't move around in the shoe, but it wasn't helpful for my heels. I ended up in more pain after wearing it for 10 days days straight, but I won't pinpoint it to this product. It could be that I was on my feet more than usual.

It’s the best one that works. Relieves the pain. And doesn’t wear out.

I have worn these inserts for about a month now and easily move them from shoe to shoe. I only feel the pain in flat shoes so it works for me. However, I will DEFINITELY purchase more now that I see how much they help. Thank you!

Too soft to help with any heel pain.
