Benefits of Heel Elevators

Heel elevators are not just about elevating the heel; they bring a multitude of advantages for users, especially in reducing discomfort and enhancing mobility.

Reducing Pressure on the Heel

By lifting the heel off the surface, our HeelZup® Heel Elevators effectively eliminate pressure, preventing the formation of pressure injuries and enhancing healing.

Providing Cushioning and Support

The design of our elevators ensures optimal cushioning and support, distributing weight evenly and reducing strain on the foot and ankle.

Improving Comfort While Walking

Heel elevators can markedly improve walking comfort by aligning the foot in a more natural position, thus facilitating a smoother gait and reducing fatigue.

Conditions that May Require Heel Elevators

Heel elevators are beneficial for various foot conditions, offering relief and promoting healing. Here are some conditions that may benefit from the use of heel elevators:

Achilles Tendonitis

Heel elevators can alleviate stress on the Achilles tendon by slightly lifting the heel, facilitating recovery and reducing discomfort.

Plantar Fasciitis

For those suffering from plantar fasciitis, elevators provide necessary arch support and relieve strain on the plantar fascia, offering much-needed pain relief.

Heel Spurs

By redistributing pressure away from the heel spur, our elevators can significantly reduce pain and discomfort associated with this condition.

How to Use Heel Elevators

Integrating heel elevators into your daily routine is straightforward, enhancing comfort and support with minimal hassle.

Inserting Heel Elevators into Shoes

Simply place the elevator at the heel area of your shoe. For adjustable and foam elevators, you might need to experiment with positioning for the best fit.

Adjusting Heel Elevators for Proper Fit

Adjust the elevation according to your specific needs. It’s crucial to ensure a snug fit to avoid slipping and to provide consistent support throughout the day.

Buying Guide for Heel Elevators

Choosing the right heel elevator is vital for achieving the desired relief and support. Here’s what to consider when making your selection:

Finding the Right Size

Ensure the elevator fits your shoe size perfectly. An ill-fitting elevator can lead to discomfort and reduce its effectiveness.

Choosing the Appropriate Material

Consider the material’s durability and comfort. Silicone offers resilience, while foam provides superior cushioning.

The degree of elevation needed varies depending on your condition. Consult with a healthcare professional to determine the optimal height for your needs.
