Works

Placed these in my tennis shoes yesterday and they really helped with the pain in my right heel and back ankle. I was on my feet a lot throughout the day, and these eased the pain. Hoping that eventually all this discomfort will be gone for good.

Protects my heels!

My shoes tend to wear out first in the heel support area. These should fix that problem. Great relief!

Helps with pain relief

If you experience achilles tendonitus or haglunds disorder, these are for you.
I was skeptical but should have known better as things that actually work are almost always more expensive.
In my husband's words
(who has the ailment)
"Worth every penny".
He uses these with ghost shoes and they're part of the recipe that works for him.

Achilles Tendinitis

I have nagging Achilles tendinitis on my left side. I can get it feeling better, then I have to go work 3 twelve hour shifts in a row and BAM, it's sore again. It hurts so bad I limp.
Needless to say. I've been to the ortho doctor, do my stretches, buy expensive shoes, buy heel cups, try to tape the area, and so on blah, blah, blah! This is the first time I have felt almost instant relief. When I take my shoes off at the end of my shift the tendon does not hurt as much. I am going to buy more wedges for my kick around the yard shoes, week end shoes, etc..... These work!!
Granted, I've only worn them 2 weeks to work. We'll see how long they last. So far, unbelievable.
A product that does what it says it will do. What??? Very happy!!!!! (and will continue to do my stretches also)
