Review on Heel Pain Relief With Tuli'S Heavy Duty Heel Cups: Cushioned Inserts For Shock Absorption, Plantar Fasciitis, And Sever'S Disease In Green (Small), Made In The USA - 1 Pair by Greg Muin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Really Disappointing

First, I think you need really oversized shoes for these. I found that once I got them in my running shoes there was barely enough room for my feet and the fit was very uncomfortable. I recommend buying shoes one to 1.5 sizes larger than your normal size if you want to put these in them. I unfortunately usually buy running/hiking shoes only one half size larger than dress shoes and these will not work in shoes I already own.Second, they are very "mushy." I cannot understand why so many outfits that make devices intended to relieve heel pain by providing "support" are not firmer, not a hard material that your aching heel can't sink into. They are not providing support. They are just taking up space and providing a marshmallow like surface for your heel to sink into, which for some people just creates more pain. Personally, one of the home remedies I have come up with to relieve heel pain is to wear heels around the house. A one to two inch heel provides sufficient lift and walking on them on a hard surface provides real relief from the pain I get after a day in running shoes. Was hoping to find something to put in running shoes but this is the second revain purchase of this type product that has disappointed me.
