Hybrid Heel Seats® Insoles for Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Pain, and Heel Spurs - Patented Fascia-Bar® Orthotic Heel Cups - Hybrid, Moderate Firmness, Medium (Women's 6.5-10, Men's 5-8)

This has been a life saving product. I have foot pain in the heel and arch areas for the last year. I had a heel spur so any extended period of walking will cause pain. I love to walk my dog so it hindered my activities. I spent money and research into various quality shoes to help alleviate these problems. It helps a little but not much and costs a lot. I went on Amazon and found this plantar fasciitis insole. I was skeptical that it would help but was desperate to try anything. It is somewhat costly for an insole but the reviews were very good. I took a chance and bought one to try. It took a short time to get used to the firmness of the insole but I can then feel the difference. My foot hurts less with each day. I continued to do certain exercises for my foot along with wearing this insole. At night, I also rolled a frozen water bottle under my feet along with massaging them with ointment. I am now wearing the insole on a regular basis and my right foot is starting to feel normal again after wearing the insole for about a month or so. It has improved a little each day. I waited until I know the product really helped before I wrote this reviews. I planned on buying a couple more insoles for the other shoes. This is a great product since it provides great arch support and helps to position your feet properly to lessen the pain. I highly recommend the product. Hopefully, it helps other customers like me. They also sell the hybrid and gel insole which is softer but I have gotten used to the firm rubber and it seems to be most effective. I don't even feel it anymore in my shoes. Thank you for a great product.

These are incredibly comfortable and I do think they are helping my plantars fasciitis. The first time I wore them I went for a jog and then to work where I am on my feet all day. I was not at all sure about them. They felt weird and didn't seem very therapeutic so I just left them in shoes at work and forgot about them for the weekend. A few days later my ankle started really acting up, not sure what I did exactly but it wasn't good. I actually even tried wearing my hiking boots to work for the added support to see if it would help but that was definitely not the case. So the next day I tried out the pads again and I felt INSTANT RELIEF in both my ankle and my foot. It was amazing! Even after sleeping I don't have that morning hobble as much as I used to. My feet also don't feel nearly as tired after a long day on my feet after wearing them.

I suffered a traumatic injury to my bilateral heels and fascia one year ago. It took 7 months for my left broken heel to fully recover. In the interim of wearing an air cast for 7 months I developed plantar fasciitis. I have surgery scheduled at the end of the month for Fascia Release due to chronic and somewhat debilitating plantar pain. It has affected my physical, work, and mental well-being due to pain from walking and standing. I have tried physical therapy, custom orthotics, top of the line shoes (vionic; hooka one one), inserts, dry needling, icing, acupuncture, and so on over the past year. So basically - I have tried everything to minimize pain. I was recommended these inserts by my 4th consult (podiatry and orthopedic surgery) to try these inserts. The first 2 days I was in extreme pain but pushed through and I am so glad I did. It has been 2 weeks and this is the most relief I’ve felt in a year. I literally put these on from the minute I go to bed until I take them off at night. My pain isn’t 100% gone but I will say since slipping them into my shoes 2 weeks ago I feel like at least 80% of my day I am not agonizing over foot pain. I still have issues when I go from a prolonged sitting position to standing but the discomfort subsided quicker than in the past with the inserts in. Because of the progress I feel I am making I have cancelled my surgery coming up in 2 weeks. I WAS SO SKEPTICAL- I kept saying great more money on crap that won’t work but BOY WAS I WRONG! I’m leaving this review now because I am ordering 2 more pairs because I am sick of switching my heel cups between shoes. Love these- as a last resort they haven’t disappointed!

I was so excited to read reviews and when I tried them, they offered immediate relieve and then went back to not making a difference after a couple of weeks. To be fair, I spend over $100 on another pair after this one that also had great reviews and they still relieve my sole pain a bit but not as they did in the beginning; it might be me not the soles. That's why I gave them 3 stars instead of 1.

These really, truly work! I've been suffering from PF for 3 months and have tried everything--PT stretching, insoles, icing, using a sling at night. All of these gave some relief, but it was still heavily impacting my daily life and my feet would be throbbing most evenings. The first day I wore these insoles I was able to log close to 15k steps--it's been a struggle to get above 5k since my PF developed. I wasn't even in pain afterwards. I was able to work in the yard all weekend, and woke up today (day 4) with virtually no pain in my feet first thing. These are different from any other insoles I've tried. They do hurt a little to wear when you first put them on, kind of like if there is a marble in your shoe, but it goes away quickly, and is still less painful than my PF pain without them. After 3 months of constant pain, I didn't think anything was going to improve my PF, but a few days with these insoles and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Great

一か八か、高いけど高い方が良いかと思い購入。 踵が痛くない！ サッカーができる！

I was very sceptical about these, having bought everything for plantar fasciitis pain relief that exists in the world, with no joy. I have been wearing these for over a month, and initially, they were a bit uncomfortable. But after a couple of days, you get used to them and genuinely don’t even notice them anymore. And they work *amazingly* well. You’ll notice that after your first day of wearing them. I find my offending foot doesn’t hurt *at all* the day after I wear these. However, if I spend a day indoors without wearing these at all, the plantar fascia pain comes back slightly the next day. So I’ve actually just bought a pair of the indoor heel seats by this company. I am a keen runner and have been able to run 12k a day, four or five times a week, without any significant pain (possibly a little niggle here and there, but these last few days have been zero pain). I used to wake up and have to hop to the bathroom on my one good foot, and now I can just walk straight there, like in the old days, before I had any heel pain! I went to the hospital last week for the steroid injection, (which had been booked in Jan) but when they did the ultrasound they said my plantar fascia looked really healthy and they didn’t need to go through with the injection in the end. These have literally changed my life. I highly recommend. (Along with a bit of ice for the heel and an ibuprofen just in case, if you’re into running).
