Review on Tuli'S Heavy Duty Gel Heel Cups For Shock Absorption And Plantar Fasciitis Relief, Made In USA, Large Size (1 Pair) by Rodney Nelson

I used to be an avid runner but due to pain in the back of my heel I could never go for too long. I suffer from Haglund deformity on the back of both heels which causes easy irritation of the back of the heel as it rubs with the back of the shoe--the inflammation was often debilitating. For the past 3 years, I was not sure the answer and often resorted to not running at all to try to "rest" the heel. Those days (fingers crossed) are over thanks to these heel cups! After inserting them, I went on a quick 3 mile run and felt some same discomfort at first, but just needed to tighten my shoe laces which helped. I continued to run doing track workouts and trail run (usually impossible in the past) and with the heel cups, I was able to complete workouts pain free! In fact, mentally I kept "expecting" pain since I was used to it but slowly I'm accepting the fact those days are in over. The heel cups are simple and fit into any shoe (cleats, running shoes, work shoes) and though they are effective, they are not bulky at all. I recently bought a second pair because I got tired of switching them from shoe to shoe--and it was my pleasure to financially support a great company and a great product.Pros: Fits easily, very effective if you have heel problems (bottom or back of heel), takes strain off from impact of runningCons: Wish they would sell a 2 pack or 3 pack for slightly cheaper :) but worth every penny anywaysOverall: this product is a game changer for me and even if you dont have exact same heel problem, it will make a positive impact to reducing stress of walking, running, sports--haven't tried this in my cleats but eager to see how they work
