Product Information
Full details
The Foot Factory Clear Non-Slip Gel Heel Liners are designed for adults seeking a practical solution to shoe-related discomfort, specifically for those breaking in new footwear or dealing with loose-fitting shoes. These discreet gel inserts provide immediate relief from rubbing and slipping, allowing for a more secure and comfortable stride throughout the day. While they offer excellent cushioning and grip, they are best suited for dry inner-shoe surfaces and may require periodic replacement if they lose their stickiness after repeated exposure to dirt or lint.

FAQs
Can these liners be used in open-back shoes?
These are designed for closed-back shoes to prevent slippage and friction against the heel counter.
Will these liners leave a sticky residue in my shoes?
They are designed to be removable, though mild residue may occur depending on the material of your shoe lining. It can usually be removed with a gentle adhesive remover.
Can I move these from one pair of shoes to another?
The adhesive is intended for a semi-permanent application. Repeatedly moving them between shoes will significantly reduce the stickiness of the backing.
Are these suitable for men's dress shoes?
Yes, they are unisex and work well in any formal shoe that has a smooth interior heel area.
Do I need to trim them to size?
They are designed to fit most standard heels, but if your shoes have a unique shape, they can typically be trimmed with sharp household scissors before removing the backing.
Will they make my shoes feel too tight?
The gel is thin, but it does add a small amount of padding. They are best used for shoes that feel slightly loose rather than shoes that are already a snug fit.
Troubleshooting
The liner keeps peeling off the shoe.
Ensure the inner surface of the shoe was clean and dry before application. If it fails to stick, wipe the area with a small amount of rubbing alcohol to remove oils and let it dry completely.
I still feel rubbing despite the liner.
Adjust the position of the liner slightly higher or lower to ensure it sits directly over the specific spot where your skin makes contact with the shoe.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides instant relief from friction and rubbing
- Prevents heels from slipping out of shoes while walking
- Completely clear design remains hidden during wear
- Easy to install without the need for tools or adhesives
- Helps break in stiff new shoes quickly
Cons
- Adhesion may weaken over time or with frequent removal
- Does not work well in shoes with textured or fabric inner linings
- Requires a clean, dry surface to bond effectively
- May not provide sufficient space reduction for shoes that are multiple sizes too large
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, follow these steps for installation:
- Ensure the interior heel area of your shoe is completely clean and free of dust, moisture, or lint.
- Peel the protective backing from the adhesive side of the gel liner.
- Position the liner inside the shoe, aligning it with the heel counter where you experience the most friction.
- Press firmly against the gel to ensure full contact and a secure bond.
For care, avoid washing the adhesive side as it may lose its tackiness. If the liner becomes dusty, gently wipe the non-adhesive side with a damp cloth. If you need to remove the liner, peel it off slowly to ensure no residue remains on the shoe material.
