FAQs
What conditions does the ViscoHeel help with?
The ViscoHeel is beneficial for acute heel pain, osteoarthritis, achillodynia, Haglund deformation, rear foot pain, tendomyopathy, and generally cushions impact loads on the ankle, knee, and hip joints.
What material is the ViscoHeel made from?
It is made from high-quality, non-slip, skin-friendly silicone.
Can I wear the ViscoHeel in any type of shoe?
The ViscoHeel is designed to fit most standard shoes, including athletic and casual footwear. However, it may not be suitable for very tight-fitting shoes or minimalist footwear.
How often should I clean the ViscoHeel?
It is recommended to clean them regularly, ideally after each day's use, or as needed, using mild soap and water.
What is the difference between Size 1 and Size 2?
Size 2 is a larger size designed to fit a wider range of adult feet and shoes compared to Size 1. The anatomical shape and cushioning principles remain the same.
Is the ViscoHeel suitable for children?
The ViscoHeel is designed for adult use. Different products may be available for pediatric needs.
How long does the ViscoHeel typically last?
Made from durable silicone, the ViscoHeel is particularly durable. With proper care, they can last for an extended period, though replacement may be needed if the cushioning effect diminishes or the material shows signs of wear.
Troubleshooting
Heel pad feels uncomfortable or causes pressure points.
Ensure the heel pad is correctly positioned within the shoe and that the shoe has adequate space. Try wearing the pads for short periods initially to allow your foot to adjust to the anatomical shape. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size.
Heel pad slips inside the shoe.
Make sure the inside of the shoe and the bottom of the heel pad are clean and dry. The non-slip surface is designed to grip, but excessive moisture or debris can reduce its effectiveness.
Skin irritation.
Ensure the heel pad is clean. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure the material is not reacting negatively with your skin.
Pad does not seem to provide enough cushioning.
Verify that you have the correct size and that the pad is properly seated. The ViscoHeel is designed for specific cushioning levels; for more intense needs, consult with a podiatrist or medical professional.
