Tuli’s Cheetah Heel Cup with Compression Sleeve for Sever’s Disease and Heel Pain for Gymnasts and Dancers, Fitted Youth Small

Bought for 11 year old daughter who competes in Acro Gymnastics at national level. Like a lot of pre-teen sportspeople she suffers from the impact of extensive training (12 hrs + per week) on joints and bones. A common symptom is Severs disease - often associated with a rapid growth spurt. As the bones get longer, the muscles and tendons become tighter as they cannot keep up with the bone growth. This causes pain and tenderness at the back of the heel which is made worse with physical activity. The Tuli's Cheetah Heel Protector not only cushions the heel from impact it also elevates it into a position, which is more comfortable for the user. She's been wearing one on her right foot, which is the worse affected during training and saw almost immediate relief. She's also been using Tuli's Heavy Duty Heel Cups in all her shoes. Recommended! Walk, work, run and play on winter ice and snow with ICEGRIPPER.

I ordered this product for my daughter, aged 9 - who does a lot of sport, she has size 6 feet, so has grown quickly. They did the job, reduced her heel pain. She did need to rest and stop activity for 2 weeks, but she did wear the heel cups to school and said they made her heels feel much better. The strap on the heel cup did help her while she got used to them, however, by the end of the 2 weeks she was managing really well with the spare heel cup in her shoe. Cured for now, we will see how we go. I would definately recommend this product.

This was bought to help relieve pain in my 8 yr old daughters foot (the ball). Originally I bought XS which was hard work to get on but once on fit perfectly. She's a shoe size 13.5. Size S is easier to put on and as a little growing room. It has really helped reduce the pain and my daughter doesn't do gymnastics without it now. She wears it on all pieces. She also wears the extra heel cup in her school shoes. It's easy to wash just throw in the washing machine when needed. Really worth the money!

This has really helped my daughter since hurting her ligaments at gymnastics

Bought this for my 9-year old daughter as she has problems with her achilles tendons. She dances, plays football and hockey and so rest isn't a good option. She wears it for mosts things. It does absorb sweat and odours so beware. It does give her support and she is complaining less regarding the pain. It is quite bulky so makes her school shoes tight and is difficult to wear with her hockey shin/ankle guards.Overall, I think it has done the job we wanted but it could be a better product (lighter and less bulky)

Really good product. I purchsed these items as over the weekend my 10 year old son was experiencing extreme pain in his heel after playing alot of sport. After reading on the internet it seemed as though he may be experiencing Severe's Disease. Since Sunday he has not been able to put his foot to the ground and even though I bought gel insoles in the meatime, this only gave slight relief. We received this product yesterday and as soon as he put his foot in them the pain disappeared. In my son's words, they are "magic!".

Brought this for my daughter who is a gymnast, offered her no pain relief on her heal at all during training. Which is very disappointing as it states good for gymnasts and dancers
