Many adults and children experience foot pain due to excessive impact forces on their feet during everyday activities. Heel Defender shoe inserts are bioengineered to surpass your natural heel cushioning, taking the pressure off your feet.

About HEEL DEFENDER SPORT

Heel Defender shoe inserts can be used on top of, under, insoles and can move from shoe to shoe. Designed for adults and children, Heel Defender orthotic inserts can be used in conjunction with other standard treatments.

These helped my plantar fasciitis more than anything else

These have helped reduce the pain of plantar fasciitis in less than a week. These heel pads are about 1/2 inch thick. They feel like thick gel and they are one of the only things that have helped reduce the pain of plantar fasciitis that I've suffered with for 2 months. I removed the padded insoles from my shoes and put in thin insoles so that my feet better fit into my shoes. I also have to slide these heel pads forward about 1/2 inch so that they feel better on my feet. You may not have to do that, it depends on the size of your foot and where they put the pressure. Believe me, They help a lot.
