Effective, all-day relief
We're moving, and I've been on my feet for days packing and moving boxes. I started to get a low back ache that traveled down my leg to my foot, which is a sign I've got a lot of pain incoming. Before it got worse, I bought these inserts, and the relief has been immediate! PROS * You can feel the springiness from the "waffle" cushion sending energy back, helping you to keep on going. * Clear, so they're not too visible. * Can be worn with or without socks (can help if your shoe fit isn't roomy). * Absolutely helped with a recurring issue I have with sensitive heels, and sciatica-like pain, when standing too long. * Covers a lot of my heel, which may provide some help when breaking in new shoes. * Gel is comfortable (doesn't move around), soft, and easy to clean. Haven't noticed any odd smells. CONS * Despite getting size small, it feels a bit tight in some sneakers. Wearing with my roomiest sneakers without socks feels most comfortable. * Not the most expensive, not drugstore cheap. I've worn for about two weeks. Would love if they hold up for months. TIP: Give them a little time to break in. At first, I thought the waffles were too wide-spaced and wobbly. By the next day, they'd compacted a bit, and were stable. Absolutely recommend these inserts! I've been able to keep going when I know in the past, I would've had to rest more to give my sensitive heels a break. A huge life improvement and well worth the money. TIP: If you're looking for a cheaper option, or don't have much room in your shoes, you might try Dr. Scholl's gel heel cups (https://amzn.to/4l3UwBx). They're more compact, and the pair I have has lasted for years, provides relief from more casual activities (hours of walking), and are about half the price.

Comfortable and offer great support!
I purchased two sets of these heel cups for my daughter to use. She recently strained her Achilles tendon playing soccer and it has been causing her a bit of pain. I put one set of the heal cups in some clean indoor shoes, and one set in her outdoor shoes and they have really helped relieve pain and support her heel while it is healing. She has a lot of sensory struggles and doesn't like the feeling of socks that are bunched or twisted in her shoes, but she says these cups are very comfortable and does not complain at all about the way they feel in her shoes.

Adds Cushion to Shoes and Boots with Low Heels
I suffer from pretty bad heel pain - Plantar Fasciitis in both heels and a large, pointy bone spur that causes Achilles tendonitis. I've tried over the counter and prescription orthotics, various exercise and stretching devices, a myriad of ice packs and of course many, many over the counter pain relievers. I did find that wearing boots with heels helped somewhat, though going to a professional physical therapist to strengthen my calf muscles and stretch my tendons did more than anything else to ease the pain. However, there's certain pairs of shoes (leather boots with low heels, mainly) that still can cause some soreness when walking long distances, and so my podiatrist recommended these heel cups. They work, but they are also a little too narrow to fit securely in the back of the boots, which means I have to be very careful when putting them on, lest the heel cup shift position, which requires taking my foot out of the boot or shoe and starting over. This happens maybe 25% of the time, as is pretty annoying. It would be nice, as other have mentioned, if the cups came in more specific sizes and widths. But they do the job, and I use them about once a week. Pros: • Good cushion, supports my 235 pound frame • Ridges on the bottom tend to prevent slippage • Very durable - easy to wash with soapy water Cons: • A little narrow, tend to move when putting on your shoes

It's okay, but it didn't convince me
They are more or less. The product fulfills its function, but it did not exceed my expectations. Maybe it works better for you.

Game changer
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 running Cons: Wish they would sell a 2 pack or 3 pack for slightly cheaper :) but worth every penny anyways Overall: 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

Great for bone spurs and plantar fasciitis issues
Love Tuli gel heel cup. Walking and exercising has been difficult after being diagnosed with bone spurs and plantar fasciitis. My podiatrist recommended these shoe /sneaker inserts. What a difference they have made in comfort and pain relief . I use these heel cups in my Sketchers slip on walking shoes and all my sneakers. Have already ordered 6 packages.

Pretty bad, but maybe just my experience
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!

Felt the difference right away
I work on an assembly line and stand throughout my shift. I would get heel pain until I started using these. I went through my first pair in about 5 months of daily use. When I recently replaced my old pair, I felt like I was on a cloud. I felt the difference between my old pair with the new pair. I recommend these to anyone with heel pain. Keep in mind they need to be replaced every few months. Totally worth the price!

Buenas plantillas
Padezco de fasitis plantar y me ayudaron algo en amortiguar la pisada, me cuesta mucho trabajo apoyar mi pie y a pesar de contar con tenis memory foam esta plantilla me ayudo cuando salía a ejercitarme. Trabajo en una planta automotriz por lo que debo de llevar zapato industrial de casquillo más de 10 horas, las plantillas sin duda ayudaron con ello, solo comento que con ellas si se me ajusta más el zapato.

great for tendonitis!
I have been struggling with tendonitis for a long time. I have had physio (which helps temporarily) and been advised to do several stretching exercises (which haven't really helped). I have also tried several different types of ankle supports, anti-inflammatory gels etc. which only provide temporary relief (if any). These heel cups are a godsend for me. The instructions say they can be word under any kind of shoe but I'm not too sure. However, I do use them in my trainers and whilst it is a slight effort to ensure they are properly placed in your shoe (they don't work so well with socks) it is worth it. For the first time in a long time I managed to get through an entire aerobic class without any kind of pain in my ankles. I have always spent my dance/aerobics classes doing low impact and worrying about causing myself any kind of pain in my tendons that I'd have to stop but with these heel cups I was able to focus on having a proper workout, and focus on my core and enjoying myself which i haven't done previously because of the fear of causing further injury to my tendons.

Correct au début, mais attention à l'usage prolongé
Au premier abord, ces talonnettes en gel apportent un confort plutôt satisfaisant et amortissent bien les impacts lors des premières utilisations. Elles s'insèrent facilement dans les chaussures et la matière semble robuste.Cependant, il faut rester vigilant en cas d'utilisation intensive. Le fait de surélever le talon modifie la façon de poser le pied et change légèrement la démarche habituelle. À la longue, ce changement de position peut finir par provoquer d'autres tensions ou douleurs ailleurs dans le pied ou la jambe. C'est donc un produit utile pour soulager ponctuellement, mais qu'il vaut mieux éviter de porter de façon quotidienne.

Excellent product
I’ve had extreme heel pain for 4 years. Have tried 2 pairs of expensive orthotics, physio, chiropractor, podiatrist, reflexology, shockwave and laser treatments. My MRI’s lean towards it being bursitis. Nothing has taken this horrible pain away. Ive spent thousands of dollars. I’ve had these in my shoes for 1 week now and it’s made such a difference. I don’t think I’ll ever find a 100% cure but these definitely make it bearable. Highly recommend trying these if you have heel pain. Oct 29, 2023 Just updating my review. After almost 2 months my heel pain is still much better. Almost close to non existent. I know though if I stopped wearing them it would come back very quickly. Planning on buying another pair.
