I am a baby boomer and despite 2 months of physical therapy for my slightly torn Achilles tendon, I continued to limp my way through minimal healing progress. I then tried a pair of these high quality yet inexpensive heel lifts and my relief from pain lessened more in one week than during the previous two months of physical therapy. And best of all, my limp disappeared and I was able to play first base again on my softball team.
These were very easily sized for my feet and I simply placed the heel inserts under the insoles of my shoes, sneakers or softball spikes. It takes about one minute to transfer the inserts from my dress shoes to my sneakers etc. or vice versa. These heel lifts allowed my injured Achilles tendon to essentially rest, even while I was standing or walking or exercising or limping and while it was resting, it was healing.....until.....I didn't have to limp anymore!
I wish my orthopedic doctor had recommended this simple step two months prior to my finding it on my own. read more
