For people who are on their feet for much of the day, foot and heel pain can be an agonizing issue to deal with. Heel cups (like Advanced Orthopaedics Heel Support ) are a great way to get quick and instant relief from sore, achy, and painful heel pain. Heel cups are simple inserts designed to cover only the heel provides support and cushioning to the heel to absorb the impact when the heel strikes the ground. Heel cups help reduce pain from certain foot conditions and improve your overall comfort.

Gel Heel Cups for Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a condition that occurs when the band of tissue (plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of the foot becomes inflamed, causing pain. Plantar fasciitis is caused when the arch support in your insoles becomes damaged or worn out due to age or injury. When this happens, the insoles can no longer provide stability for standing and walking. Heel cups can help by providing your heel cushioning and taking pressure off painful areas. This reduces stress on the plantar fascia making it more flexible and less likely to strain.

What to look for in a Heel Cup?

Fit: Just like the shoes, you need to have a pair of perfect-fitting heel cups. They should stay in place so that they can provide desired support. Look for a heel cup that conforms to your heels.
Shock absorption: A must-have feature in heel cups is shock-absorbing quality. The best way to know if a heel cup has this feature is to look at what kind of design they are made into, such as waffles or something similar.
Comfort: Another most important consideration is comfort. Look for heel cups that are comfortable enough to be worn inside the shoes.
Breathability: Buy a heel cup that can rid you of fungi and bacteria and prevent bad odor.
Non-slip: Look for heel cups that do not move around inside the shoe and support your heel with every step. Heel cups featuring a waffle design add stability and grip to the cup.
