Dr. Frederick's Original Plantar Fasciitis Heel Cups – 2 ct – Neoprene Heel Pain Relief for Heel Spurs, Achilles Tendonitis & Cracked Heels – Soft, Washable Heel Protector Pads for Men & Women

My heels crack very badly in the winter. I have salves that help, but keeping the salve in contact with my heels is hard. With these heel guards, at night before bed I put the salve on my heels then put these on and take them off in the morning. They are a bit tight but not intolerable. I wear a 12 [US] 6e shoe for context! In about a week or two my heels are healed and supple. I also tried some of the silicon version of the heel guard which lasted one day before splitting in two [a waste of money]. These neoprene ones are durable and keep the salve on my feet where it needs to be.

These are tighter than I thought they would be (womens size 7 foot)....with that said, they also saved my foot when I got a deep crack in my heel that started bleeding. I was able to keep the moisture on my heel and it helped the crack heal in a weeks time. I'm am extremely grateful even if they were tight on my foot. It would be a lot better if it had a tiny bit more stretch to it. The padding is light, it's not the same as the gel padding kind.

It certainly made my heel feel better. A bit tight but I’m a chunky girl so it is what it is. Nothing I’ve tried until this has helped with my plantar fasciitis. Thank you

This product is severely undersized but marketed as it fits all feet. It does not. I have a men's size 9 foot and it would not even fit over my toes. The product which advertises comfort relief, cannot provide that function if it does not fit properly. The other observation I made is that the pads that are supposed to cushion your heel, are very thin and small. I am not sure if the product would provide adequate padding even if it did fit properly.

I work in landscape maintenance business so I'm walking a lot with my work boots. These things are fantastic. Only thing is the you should put these OVER you socks. DO NOT put this on before you put your socks on to wear it for the day. At least for my experience when I put these things on I would get blisters over time on my foot because it was tight against my skin and it wasn't comfortable. Some time later I found out that if I put these heel guards AFTER I put my socks on then it was a massive comfortable difference. So just a heads up for whoever buys them for the first time. I mean do whatever preference you like to do. But for me, putting these heel guards on after you put your socks on is much safer because these things are tight on your skin. Just my opinion.

The heel part of this product is fine and the quality of the material is very good. However, the fit is much too tight. I would pay more to have a product with Velcro straps, so that the fit can be adjusted. I am not a large woman, yet the fit was much too tight for me. Quality and idea are fine, the fit would make me not recommend this except for a child.

For many years I’ve been on a rigorous distance running and heavy rucking regimen. I developed plantar fasciitis which I ignored and continued to work through for about a year before I started to experience fat pad syndrome in the same foot. It was so severe I could hardly put pressure on it. This product provided INSTANT relief to my heel pad and appears to be speeding up the recovery. I’d highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with heal pain from heel pad syndrome.

These are AMAZING. They provide support and help to minimize pain when my plantar fasciitis is acting up. They fit easily under socks and in shoes without adding additional bulk. And you get 2 sets which is a great value. Highly recommend.
