Product Information

Full details

The Sorbothane Heel Pads - 13 are designed for adults seeking superior shock absorption and targeted pain relief during athletic activity or daily wear. These pads are an excellent solution for those suffering from Achilles tendonitis, heel pain, or calf strain, providing a modest lift that eases tension on the lower leg; however, users should ensure their footwear has adequate interior depth to accommodate the added thickness of the pads without causing heel slippage.

FAQs

Are these suitable for all shoe types?

They work best in shoes with closed heels. They are generally not recommended for open-back sandals or flats with very shallow heel cups.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, you should only hand wash them with a damp cloth. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the Sorbothane material.

Do I need to buy a pair for every shoe I own?

While you can transfer them between shoes, many users prefer having a dedicated pair for their primary workout shoes to avoid wear and tear from frequent removal.

Will this help with plantar fasciitis?

While these are primarily focused on heel and Achilles comfort, the shock absorption can help alleviate general heel pressure associated with various foot conditions.

How long do these pads typically last?

Longevity depends on the intensity of use. With regular, daily activity, they can last several months before the material begins to compress significantly.

Troubleshooting

Heel feels like it is slipping out of the shoe

The added lift may be pushing your heel too high. Try removing the original insole of your shoe to create more interior volume.

Pad shifts during walking

Ensure the shoe interior is clean and dry. If the pad still moves, you can use a small dab of double-sided fabric tape to secure it to the shoe bed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces impact shock on heel and leg
  • Effective at relieving Achilles tendonitis pain
  • Durable material maintains cushioning properties over time
  • Easy to transfer between different pairs of athletic or casual shoes

Cons

  • May require extra depth in footwear to prevent heel lifting
  • Not intended to provide full-foot arch support
  • Specific size range may not fit smaller shoe sizes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Sorbothane Heel Pads, first remove any existing factory insoles if your shoes feel too tight. Place the pads with the smooth side up against the heel area of the shoe. They are compatible with most standard adult footwear in the UK 9-13 range. To care for your pads, remove them periodically and wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking them in water or using harsh chemicals, as this may degrade the unique shock-absorbing properties of the material. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting into your shoes.
