This device did me know good. It was painful and hard to wear. I tried to return it but the company would not allow me to, because I had worn it a few times to try it out. I WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone.

I've tried it all. This is the best I've found for plantar fasciitis. The hard plastic stabilizes the heel, gel will not. The heel cup provides almost immediate relief. I was amazed.

yes, this will help a lot. When my plantar facsitis starts acting up, I stand on this for a while a couple of times a day, and it really makes my feet feel better.

Calf stretches, 2 -3 times a day, each leg for 2 minutes, 3 times per leg. I couldn't walk my PF and heel spur was so bad. I was 45 and ready for a wheel chair, which is ridiculous as I am healthy and extremely active and busy. This is the only thing that did it. If done every single day (consistency is key) the PF will be relieved. Stretching is your new normal when you have PF.

I have severe dry and thick callouses on my heels. The first thing I do is use the potato peeler to remove excess and then soak in the tub to soften the remainder. then, I get mu pumice stone, apply the eliminator all over my foot and concentrae on my heels. Let remain 3-4 minutes and then stat scrubbing with the pumice stone. I do my whole foot iincludig the ends of my toes. After sufficient skin has been removed, then I take my little scrub brush and brush all over. When thoroughly rinsed, apple lotion and socks until it has all soaked in--preferably overnight.

You can also call the company's customer support. This cushion was recommended to us by the physical therapist, but she recommended we consult customer service and we found them very helpful. The cushion is very helpful in actually healing pressure sores - in just days!

If you have not been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, then this will help, but spenco polysorb insoles will do a much better job. They are a complete insole, whereas the profoot arch support are only 3/4 of an insole. I still have the profoot arch supports but I only use them in shoes without heel support. Do not invest in expensive insoles. I did and was greatly disappointed. Experiment.

Doubtful. I've tried it on my foot and it doesn't seem to make good enough contact. My wife has this condition and the only thing that seems to help is the boot designed to help stop the pain. There is also a sleeping boot available. Both are available by prescription.

If you are wearing the Gel Plantar Fasciitis Arch Sleeve it should be worn by it self. Insoles are typically used for arch support while the Gel Pad provides relief to the inflamed muscle on the bottom of the foot.

I found ways to make it comfy and have it work. First, get a thick sock and cut the great toe out. Wear the sock under the brace, always! Second, when you first start to wear the brace, just loop the velcro loosely. Don't tighten it at all. The width of the toe protector will work first and without pain. Only start to tighten it after about a week or even two, and then, just tighten it a bit. This is a slow process if you don't want the process to be searingly painful. It takes time. I started to notice a difference after about two months. If you go too fast, you can hurt your gate or your knee, so be careful and just go very slowly.

It seemed tall enough for me, but I have plantar faciitis. Since your problem is in the heal it might also be enough. You should probably check with your doctor though to be sure.

Two - these will keep both feet stretched out all night so when you wake up, you won't re-injure them when you get on your feet in the morning. To heal quicker though, you also need to keep the fascia stretched out all DAY - check out book ISBN-10: 1457539268 for more on that.
