Features

  • IMMEDIATE ACHILLES TENDONITIS RELIEF: Heel Defender Comfort provides immediate relief from foot pain caused by Achilles Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, and more. Heel Defender shoe inserts offer better relief than heel cups for achilles tendonitis by relieving the pressure on your heel, and dispersing it - giving you immediate, and lasting pain relief.
  • MAXIMUM IMPACT ABSORPTION FOR LASTING COMFORT: Many men, women, and children experience foot pain due to excessive impact forces on your feet during everyday activities, like walking, or standing. Many of our customers have tried other orthotics and gel heel cups - but they dont provide enough relief. Heel Defender shoe inserts for achilles tendonitis are bioengineered to surpass your natural heel cushioning, which provides maximum shock absorption - taking the pressure off your feet.
  • PODIATRIST APPROVED DESIGN: Heel Defender is made in the USA and was designed by a leading podiatrist with over 30 years of experience treating foot conditions. Whether youre suffering from Achilles Tendonitis, plantar fasciitis (Joggers Heel, Heel Spurs), diabetic foot ulcers, or have a child suffering from Severs Disease, Heel Defender can be used in conjunction with other standard of care treatments to relieve foot pain fast.
  • REDUCES IMPACT FORCE BY 94.7%: Absorbium makes the difference in Heel Defender Comforts impact force reduction. Absorbiums proprietary and patented technology absorbs up to 94.7% of impact forces, giving you added heel protection, 60x pressure relief, better shock absorption, and increased comfort - with or without socks. Simply peel back the adhesive and place Heel Defender in your shoe (under the sole, or above the sole) for immediate relief.
  • LIFETIME WARRANTY: Risk-free purchase with 100% refund if returned in the first 30-days after purchase. A lifetime warranty for manufacturing defects also applies. Inserts can be used on top of, under, or instead of shoe insole and can move from shoe to shoe as needed. For smaller shoes, like running shoes or heels, check out Heel Defender sport - which offers the same great impact reducing forces in a more compact design.

  • Pain free!
Size: Medium (1 Pair)
Great fit and excellent results! I have bone spurs where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel. They are very small and very painful. This product works great! I am completely pain free. The stickiness wore off pretty quickly, but they seem to stay in place anyway. Great product!

  • Doctor suggested...
Size: Medium (1 Pair)
I have a partially torn achilles tendon, and when I went to my doctor yesterday, he suggested I get these for some relief of the pain. They came today, and I place one in my shoe, and was immediately surprised that it clearly reduced my pain. I have worn them since, and while I still have pain, it is not nearly as bad as it was before I started wearing these. The doctor also suggest a brace, which I am still waiting for, but so far he was right on, and these do work to reduce pain. ... show more

  • Feet hurt worse after wearing
Size: Medium (1 Pair)
I’m a flagger in road construction! I put these in with my insoles as it said I had options of leaving or taking them out. They are only 3/4 lenghth so I left my insoles in. I only worked 5 hours that day and I felt like I was wearing wedges or a small heel. Due to the heel the painful pressure was still on my heels but also the balls of my feet due to wedge pushing my foot more forward and down towards ground! If I had to wear them longer I would have gotten blisters! Balls of feet were literally raw! Made foot pain worse! I am returning ... show more

  • Comfy and supportive
Size: Medium (1 Pair)
I purchased these heel inserts for my plantar fasciitis as a preventative measure, however, my case was so severe that I did end up needing shots. This heel insert did provide some relief but if you have a severe case of heel pain I would see a foot doctor.

It only addressed 1 problem and I also have a bone spur. I need something to wrap the bottom of my instep, not gel.
