Do these provide any protection for the Achilles tendon? I wear slip-ons with no-show socks.

The box claims help with Heel spurs, painful legs & knees, and for me they help keep my heel from forming calluses. The achilles tendon isn't mentioned, but they do provide shock absorption. Maybe this helps?

I'm sorry I can't really answer this question from my personal experience as I was experiencing no Achilles issues. They do lift the heel a bit thus shortening the Achilles putting it in a "rested" position which will "protect" it in the short-term however a chronically shortened position will cause more harm.

Hi, these will not work for you with slip-ons because they tend to move so they need the support of a sneaker to stay in palce and they only cover the heel and just a Little more. I hope this help.

This is definitely worn with footwear. For example, I put this on; over it my tennis socks; over that my tennis shoes. I don't play tennis any more without wearing the Bauerfeind support to prevent future injury.

The sock in general does not provide support. Doubtful that it would provide heel support. That said, they are very comfortable socks, with slightly more than average cushioning.

It does help to protect your feet from sores, but if you have heel pain besides a doctor's prescription, i would recommend the SKIL CARE FLOAT HEEL PROTECTOR from Prime Discount in Amazon, i got both "booties" both are good, but because my mother developed sores in the big toe and heel, she is diabetic and bedridden, it was better to keep the heel free of pressure and avoid pain. The DMI comforting heel is very good to protect your feet from sores,but if those sores are spreading and causing too much pain in your heel i would suggest the float heel protector.My mother has both protectors (different one in each foot) and there is a lot of improvement.

Not really. My husband wears these over his compression socks and actually wears two pairs so that they stay up. They are a good buy for the $$. They are not too tight at the top which has always been a problem for him.

They work great for bare feet, socks, and slippers. It gives grip in all those cases and never seems uncomfortable.

I could not say if they are good for supinators. For sure they helpe me with being able to walk when my plantar fasciitis.

They're great for volleyball & jogging- so I am going to say yes for tennis.Good support to prevent rolling I the ankle without being to confining or too tight.I hope that helps!

Yes, I have plantar fasciitis, and have used these (in this type, and also the smaller one for shoes and PF) in all my shoes for over a year. I have flat feet. I also find that shoes with negative heels, like Earth brand shoes are helpful, as they help stretch the arch. I used to wear harder bottomed shoes, like birkenstocks, but these have eliminated about 90% of my pain. I walk on a treadmill 6x per week, for about an hour. I highly recommend these inserts.

No, they protect the dogs feet against road and sidewalk salt and other chemical substances that they might have to walk on. My dog has wide webbing between his toes so the 3-4 inch would not fit over his toes. I had to give them away.

I am buying these for my brother, who is a quite overweight and has diabetic foot problems. I believe it does protect his heels quite a bit. However as far as how far up the heel it goes, I would not know without looking at one as he stands on it on the bare floor. All I know is that he says it really helps out- really makes his feet feel better.

If they are light compression it may help, but I will be honest with you. This product in my opinion was not meant for anything but socks and it does work great for that purpose. I do not wear the compression stockings so mine is only a guess. I am truly sorry that I am unable to be of more help to you. May God bless you and yours always.

I would think wearing over your sock would provide protection from the neoprene. I guess it just depends on the severity of the allergy.

No, these are just to protect the cleats from when you walk in them. You must remove them prior to riding.

I had them for plantar faciitis and they did not help at all. I don't know about heel spurs but I think it would be iffee if they would help your condition. I hope you get relief.

No when I use it I usually have socks on or slippers. They are probably talking about the sandpaper like surface so your feet don't slip.

I have worn them for a short time without a sock and they "grab" my heel pretty well. If it was a tight fitting sock it might work. Maybe use an Ace bandage to hold them in place as they do need to be in place to work.
