Excellent product
20 July 2024  |  Vivien

I have a bony protuberance on one heel that causes pain at night when in contact with the mattress. This heel cup is perfect, soft wool inside and the outer fabric glides on the sheet. I now have pain free night’s sleep. Overall I’m delighted with the product, recommended by my chiropodist, wish I had known about these years ago. Also swift delivery via Royal Mail.

Too big

These are very soft and definitely help pressure points on my heels, however they do come off during the night.
I have slim feet and ankles so they are quite baggy, would possibly help if they came in different sizes.
