Brandone Insole Height, Orthopedic Cushion, High Heel Pad, Men's & Women's Shoes High Orthopedic Pad (2 Pairs) (Gray, 3.5cm)

Jan 30, 20251041 days have passed since Achilles tendon rupture at age 76. Tried everything, but the 'ol gastrocnemius never re-activated and regained strength. That means at the point in your gait when you should be pushing off from the ball of the foot you got no push. Instead you limp. That affects your knee and hip. Keep it up and every time you go for a walk the leg will ache. I know for elderly Achilles people about half don't get back to normal. Spent a lot of time trying to find what they do; no luck. I wondered what if that foot was in the raised heel push off position by virtue of a heel lift? Would that help? Couple days ago I tried the Dr. Foot 1" heel lift I haven't used for a couple years and it did help immediately. Had to try it on a hike. 1.5 miles in 31 minutes; no leg pain. That one isn't very comfortable, so I ordered a new one that arrived today; Lcyiven 1 3/8". 1.5 miles in 28 minutes flat!, comfortable and it hasn't felt so good to walk since before rupture. No limp. I'm using Wintin barefoot boots with zero drop. I wonder if anyone else has used a heel lift for this purpose? Would like to hear from Lcyiven.

If you have heel spurs these are amazing! I golf a lot and my heel spurs were hurting and flaring up after I golfed or took walks. I put these in and wow they are so amazing. I have tried other inserts from the store and they never had the cushioning that they claimed. They actually hurt my heels more. Just keep in mind if you are buying for tennis shoes you can get the ones that states that they fit tennis shoes. I tried the ones for boots in my tennis shoes and my heels feel like they are going to lift out of my shoes. The tennis shoes ones will give you the cushioning you need.

Product said it will come with 2 pair it came with 1 plus a extra right foot.

Very comfortable. No sliding and no adjusting. They are tall and heel stick out of the shoe. Unless the shoe is a deep heel you may need to purchase the small insert.

The product makes my shoes more comfortable to walk in, but it does very little for a height boost. The more you wear them, the less effective they become as they become flatter over time.

Nice.

I have hypermobility due to a connective tissue disorder and these worked far better than I expected them to. Normally my knees hyperextend backwards which makes it very difficult for me to walk and stand for long periods of time. These keep my knees in a much better position and prevent me from dragging my feet and locking my knees. They allow me to walk for a lot longer than I am able to without them.

These are a great support for my hills, I will get more for each pair of shoes.
