Dr. Frederick's Original Neoprene Heel Guards - 2 ct - Soft Heel Cups for Pain Relief & Plantar Fasciitis - Comfortable Design for Men & Women

My heels crack very badly in the winter. I have salves that help, but keeping the salve in contact with my heels is hard. With these heel guards, at night before bed I put the salve on my heels then put these on and take them off in the morning. They are a bit tight but not intolerable. I wear a 12 [US] 6e shoe for context! In about a week or two my heels are healed and supple. I also tried some of the silicon version of the heel guard which lasted one day before splitting in two [a waste of money]. These neoprene ones are durable and keep the salve on my feet where it needs to be.

I have tendon issues in my foot. These hit the exact right spot for support.

This product is severely undersized but marketed as it fits all feet. It does not. I have a men's size 9 foot and it would not even fit over my toes. The product which advertises comfort relief, cannot provide that function if it does not fit properly. The other observation I made is that the pads that are supposed to cushion your heel, are very thin and small. I am not sure if the product would provide adequate padding even if it did fit properly.

Que hay que ver bien las tallas ...no me ajustaron muy bien

I work in landscape maintenance business so I'm walking a lot with my work boots. These things are fantastic. Only thing is the you should put these OVER you socks. DO NOT put this on before you put your socks on to wear it for the day. At least for my experience when I put these things on I would get blisters over time on my foot because it was tight against my skin and it wasn't comfortable.Some time later I found out that if I put these heel guards AFTER I put my socks on then it was a massive comfortable difference. So just a heads up for whoever buys them for the first time. I mean do whatever preference you like to do. But for me, putting these heel guards on after you put your socks on is much safer because these things are tight on your skin. Just my opinion.

I use these to relieve cracked heels. I apply lotion to my heels, then cover with plastic wrap and use these to hold the plastic on my feet at night. These sleeves work well for that purpose, a more secure solution compared to socks, which allowed the plastic to move around. When I wake up in the morning, the plastic is exactly where it was the night before, and my heels are much better. However, the glaring problem is that my sheets became marked with permanent black skid marks from the neoprene! This does not wash out, and this problem makes these heel sleeves unusable for me.

For many years I’ve been on a rigorous distance running and heavy rucking regimen. I developed plantar fasciitis which I ignored and continued to work through for about a year before I started to experience fat pad syndrome in the same foot. It was so severe I could hardly put pressure on it. This product provided INSTANT relief to my heel pad and appears to be speeding up the recovery. I’d highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with heal pain from heel pad syndrome.

These give great support to my heels and the fit is very comfortable. I have used these for years because they give such great support.
