Tuli's Heavy Duty Heel Cups Shock Absorbing Cushion Insert For Plantar Fasciitis And Sever's Disease Green Regular 1 Pair

Good price and quality. Much more comfort. My doctor likes them. My friend's podiatrist employer sells them.

I'm surprised how good they work for my plantar fasciitis. I'm considering more pairs to just leave them in my gym shoes and then use one pair for other shoes.

Bought these after seeing that many people on the extremely informative "heelspurs" web site rated them highly. I already had a pair of the Tuli regular heel cups (not heavy duty) and they were quite good, so I thought I'd try these. After my husband saw mine, he had me order a pair (although large size) for him, which I did. They are indeed heavier duty than the regulars, and now my favorite pair. I put them in the good-fitting athletic shoes I bought and they make walking a lot better. (Make sure you try on many shoes - your shoe size changes as you age! Also buy a shoe that flexes and isn't too rigid. I bought some that had a nice padding throughout and they are the most comfortable I have, especially with the Tuli's in there.) I've got every day heel pain that gets worse the longer I walk or stand on the bad heel, and these cups definitely help mask the discomfort. I think they are actually cushioning the blow and therefore helping my plantar faciitis, but even if all they are doing is making it less painful for me to walk, they are certainly worth the money I paid for them. My husband just had me order a pair for him. I would recommend to everyone that they go to a physical therapist at least a few times to see what exercises are helpful and then do those exercises every day. I do a lot of stretching(feet, toes and surprisingly, shins) and this has helped me to reduce my pain by about half in 6 weeks. The exercises are not painful or terribly time-consuming, but I believe you MUST do more than roll your foot on a tennis ball. The heelspurs site is great or you can google other sites to learn about exercises. I also ice the heel twice a day, and in the beginning took a lot of Ibuprophen. I try to do at least a few minutes of stretching when I first get up so as not to further increase my injured ligaments, and a few before I take the dog for a walk. Also helpful was to find out if I needed a separate arch support. I tried one but it was more painful when I used it than when I didn't, so I stopped using it. I also found that lying on the bed after exercise and heel icing helped, as did not walking barefoot. In any case, the extra duty Tuli cups are certainly a start so I recommend them. I have 3 other pairs of heel cups but these are my favorite, as they seem to provide the best cushioning. The price is also quite reasonable, and the company that shipped mine did so very quickly.

Truly amazing! Our 7 yo injured his ankle from soccer in March 2025. We did everything we could think of to help it heal and eventually sought a Pediatric Ortho Dr. We followed his instructions he gave us and he wore the brace they provided. The brace became like a crutch so we stopped wearing it after several months. Well, it started to hurt again and we ended up back at urgent care with more X-rays. After another follow up to the Ortho came more brace wearing and a fed up husband who consulted AI. It recommended this product (size small) and it has been the biggest help yet! Our son has stopped complaining of pain and actually said it doesn't hurt like it has for the past 9.5 months! I tried them and didn't realize how much I needed a pair too. I truly think it might help my back pain also so I ordered another pair for me. The cushioning is perfect and they stay in your shoes. Skip the dr scholl's from Walmart - these are wonderful!

These Tuli heel cups allowed immediate relief to my heels. I say heels, because you must wear both, in order to have equilibrium in your step. I only have one heel that gives me grief(a tiny area the size of a pin-top on my left ankle) but with your feet, you need to have each foot the same height. Thus, you must wear both. The cushioning is wonderful. I bought a REGULAR and I wear a 9.5 wide shoe. I wore them in my tennis shoes, yesterday, and for the first time, no excruciating pain during grocery shopping. They are thick, which helps the pressure on the heel. I think they may poke out at the top of some of my flats, but the rubber is thin at the sides and top, and can be easily trimmed down. At this point, I know that the bottom cushion is what provides the relief, so I'm willing to adjust whatever needs to be adjusted. Unlike some have reported, the inserts do not slide or move around. They do make my feet go a little deeper into the front of the shoe, but not enough to hurt my toes. Now, I buy wide toe box shoes, so that may be the reason I do not have problems. I do not wear tight-fitting or narrow-toe shoes. I want to be able to walk if I make to my 80s/90s!!! I'm determined to take care of my feet everyday with calf exercises, wearing toe stretchers at night, and magnesium foot soaks. I have no pain, except for a tiny pin-top-sized area on the back of my left ankle. It's' amazing how something so tiny can cause so much pain!! I'm sure a trip to the ortho is in order and I will go. But, for immediate relief, these fit the ticket. Tuli's are the most wearable and functional heel cushions that I have ever purchased. I'll stick with this brand, and continue to do leg and foot exercises daily. I hope they work for you, too.
