I would like to purchase this mat to use at my standing desk at work, it is okay to wear heels on the mat? I have a gelpro at home in my kitchen and it suggests not wearing heels on it.

The mat is firm and the material is fairly sturdy. It should hold up for heels but it does have give to it which might cause your shoe to sink in and trip you up if you aren't careful when moving. It does show the outline of my bare feet after I've been standing on it for awhile. Tips from heels would sink in further. Didn't notice if there was a warning label on the mat re heels. Maybe an email to the manufacturer? Good luck!

In my opinion, heels should not be worn anywhere, especially if you are standing all day. I suspect they would cut into this mat.

Yes. It works great regardless if you wear shoes or not. I do both (even at the office!)

If I could outfit the entire cooking area of the kitchen with GelPro mats, then it would be like walking on air! Comfortable! definitely recommended!

I wish I had asked that question before purchasing. No, they are not -- lucky for me I wear mostly flats. But it's not suitable for heels.

No, the gel is only on the heel - personally I think there great and ended up ordering a pair for my mom and sister.

I have light floors in the kitchen, but have seen none of the marks like shoe heels sometimes leave. My only caution is that you put them firmly down flat on wet surfaces, because if you set the tip on its edge, it will slip. I just bought a second set as I was so happy with them.

The gel part actually touches your skin so I put on my sock first and then the metatarsal pad. For me If I put it on before my socks, it slid around too much. I got another kind from my podiatrist and the gel is covered with material so I put that kind under my sock.

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.

The edge is thicker then the rest of the mat. The mats are durable so I believe they'll work well with your heels. If you get them, make sure to wash them, air them out and put a fragrance. Otherwise the inside of your car will smell like rubber.

No problema at all. I have my wire shelf in the kitchen and have light and heavy weight items on this liner. Heels will not penetrate this liner.

Hi Josie regarding your question. Yes.if the shoe has heel support it's ok no matter if it is high or pump.you can't use it w/sandals it slip backwards(no heel support) Orthaheel is wonderful

I suggest you ask the seller these questions. I bought one for a friend for her office on which there is now a desk, office chair and misc.. The seller might have a way to butt them together. I bought a black mat and am very pleased.

I loved this when my Achilles bothers me. Great for icing. I think you would be ok. It fits by molding around your foot so it's not by the length. Maybe your toes wouldn't be out as much but I think you would be fine I wear a 7 1/2 normally.

I also read about this scrub to cut down on the initial slipperiness. Manduka also suggests this scrub, however I chose not to use it. It really does become better the more you use it and I use mine pretty much everyday. But if Manduka is suggesting it, then I'd think it is safe for your mat. Maybe you could hang it over the shower to dry if it's too cold outside.

I have had high heels on this mat a couple times, but not often. Also the heels I had may not be quite as small as some stilettos I've seen. That said, they will leave an impression on the mat for a while, but then it springs back. Have tried not to have them on there for long.

Not sure of that. This mat is primarily good for having to be positioned on knees, or laying down and doing various exercises.Running, jumping jacks, etc may not be a good idea on the mat.

Her feet probably hurt - mine do (am using my stand up desk right now). I even got the industrial pad to stand on but my office is on the bottom floor so pretty much standing on concrete. Otherwise, you have so much more energy when you get home from not sitting all day. I highly recommend this desk!
