Sorbothane Shock Stopper Heel,Red,Size:8 to 13

Good

if they work for you, then fine. But I don't really believe that gel does what it says on the tin - for insoles or bicycle saddles. IMHO all gel does is reflect shock right back up your leg - or bum in the case of bike saddles. They did seem to work better when placed under the insole, but soon disintegrated. Don't waste your money if you're not sure.

Does what there supposed to do.

Been using these for years. Placed under the insole of my hiking boots they've increased the shock absorption massively. However, the adhesive is so ineffectual they may as well not bother applying any, and although this makes no difference as the insole holds mine in place, they would be useless if worn directly under the foot

Have been using these in my foot ware for for over 20 years, they help me with my knee and heal pain.

I bought the heal pads for possible relief of plantar fasciitis. I think they helped, but I tried a number of remedies for plantar together, so can't say so definitely. I do though recommend them for their durability. I have given them a great deal of 'hammer', but to date they have continued to retain their firmness, and have shown no signs yet of wearing out

I have a short left leg (about 1/2") so I have 1 in my left shoe. I fit them under my insole to stop the moving.

Boyf was limping and complaining about back and leg pain. He had some work boots that I thought might be the cause so I ordered these with the intention of lifting his heel a little higher and relieving some of the stretch in his achilles tendon that he'd horrifically snapped some years ago. The first day he wore them, he came back from work a whole lot more positive and said they'd made such a difference for him. He's been using them for a few weeks and they don't crush so they are still doing the job.I'm going to take him for a personal assessment in a formal establishment that deals with posture correction and am even considering them for myself as I hav a lot of lower back pain. If you're considering trying them, try it.. you're likely to be in pain so you've nothing to lose.
