Review on Tuli'S Heavy Duty Gel Heel Cups For Shock Absorption And Pain Relief From Plantar Fasciitis And Heel Pain - Made In The USA - Includes 1 Pair Of Regular Cushion Inserts by Gerardo Cibrian

I used this for a "fat pad" thinning problem with my left foot. It has very good reviews and initially I thought it would do the job. It definitely is nicely padded and seems like it should work as described, but there are problems and I'll get into them here.They won't stay on at all unless you wear them in a shoe that has heel support in the back or put them on beneath your socks and that is really difficult to do as they are sticky and the sock clings to them. It's necessary to have your hands inside the sock as well as the cup in order to get it placed properly. That just can't be done otherwise. I have to use very thick woolen stretchy socks in the winter and any other sort of sock is much to tight for both your foot, the cup, and your hand at the same time. This was very difficult to get right and took time.I tape my heel to help with the thinning problem in the fat pad and I pretty much had it healed up and with no more pain.until I tried to wear the cup all day. I also decided to put it onto my right heel in order to be balanced as these things are anything but stable to walk on.After one day of walking this way my heels on both feet began to hurt. I just ignored it.you get days like this now and then, but the next day both heels were really sore. Eventually, I figured there could be no other cause than the cups so took them off for the rest of the day . By evening both heels were somewhat better and the next morning the pain in the right heel was pretty much gone. Still slightly sore in the heel with the fat pad thinning but I figure that will be OK by this evening.Now, a lot of people seem to like these and have no problem. Maybe it's just me, but I'm putting this out there so others can make a better decision.Hope this helps!
