Description

A silicone heel pad is a small, cushioned insert made from medical-grade silicone gel, specifically designed to support and cushion the heel area of the foot. It is commonly used to relieve heel pain, absorb shock, and reduce pressure on the heel, especially for people with foot conditions or those who spend long hours standing or walking.

A silicone inner sole (also called a silicone insole or inner‑sole) is a removable insert placed inside footwear, made from medical‑or quality silicone. It rests under the foot and is designed to cushion, support, and relieve pressure on sensitive areas. It often has shock absorption, flexibility, and conforms to the shape of the foot.

To cushion and support the heel.
To absorb impact during walking or running.
To relieve pressure and pain caused by conditions such as:
- Plantar fasciitis
