What is the difference with gel heel cushions?
To be effective, heel cushions need to be made of a shock-absorbing material that limits trauma related to foot impact on the ground. Some gels have this capability (but not all), while Physio'Choc™ is highly effective for this purpose. Additionally, as gel heel cushions are extremely flexible, they promote inward tilting of the foot in a pronated position. Wearing them for extended periods can lead to pain in areas other than the foot, such as the knee.
How to choose the right size of heel cushions for plantar fasciitis?
Size S is primarily for smaller feet; it is more suitable for women. Conversely, size L is more appropriate for wider feet and is generally suitable for men.
How to determine if the heel cushion is for the right or left foot?
The end of the heel cushion for plantar fasciitis is beveled. The longer side should come from the inner side of the foot.
