More About This Product
Bauerfeind® ViscoSpot® Heel Cushions relieve chronic heel and ankle pain, specifically heel spurs and tarsal bone pain. It absorbs impact with every step, and protects the joints. Three zones made of material with varying firmness offer targeted relief: the innermost zone is the white spot - a particularly soft zone that absorbs pressure at the root of the pain, the sensitive region directly around the heel spur. The blue zone around the white spot is somewhat firmer and relieves the insertion of the plantar fascia while hollowing the fascia pathway. This allows inflammations and irritations to subside faster. The firm gray zone around the outer edge gently guides the hind foot at every step and softly supports it during heel-to-toe movements. The transitions of the three pressure relief zones have a wave-shaped connection and cannot be felt. The viscoelastic heel cushion offers an anatomical fit and optimally adapts to the shape of the foot and shoe. High-quality, nonslip silicone and durable, gentle on skin, and easy to clean. Sold in pairs - choose Left/Right pair, or two each of Left or Right.
