I run in 50K races and train by running 30-40 miles per week. I weigh 200 pounds, so my feet need a lot of protection. I do not use the heel cups in my running shoes, but rather in my street shoes and hiking boots. Before using the Tuli's I would develop heel pain after 2 miles of walking. Since using the Tuli's that is a distant memory. I purchased my first pair 12 years ago. They never wore out, but I finally replaced them due to their age.

If you get heel pain for normal walking, I highly recommend these. When you take your shoes off, take the heel cups out to allow the shoe to dry properly.

Generally, products of this type tend to raise my skepticism, as they often make snake oil claims AND charge an arm or a leg for it. These are reasonably priced, and don't make miraculous claims. They significantly reduced my heel pain. It's much more effective than I thought, and I can now walk farther and not feel like there's hundred flaming knives under my heel. It will not eliminate the pain, but no product in existence can. Can also protect your heel from calluses.

Dirt can easily get into the hard-to-clean waffle pattern. These should be cleaned regularly, or even better after every use. The way these cups are sold by weight is confusing, but I bought the right pair luckily. Make sure you have a proper fitting shoe to begin with, so if it's a little tight, that's probably a sign that you may be wearing the wrong shoe all along, and adding these can make it worse.

Honest reviews on Tuli's Classic Gel Heel Cups

This is my third pair of Tuli's Heel Cups, and these are the best choice, in my opinion, to allow you to wear them in high heels or pumps without taking up too much room in your shoes. I've bought two pair of Tuli's Heavy Duty heel cups (one in the green flex material, and one in the clear gel material), and, in an effort to find a set of Tuli's Heel Cups that wouldn't take up quite as much room in my pumps as those do, I ordered a set of these Tuli's Classic Heel Cups. They're JUST what I needed! These heel cups are not as thick as the Heavy Duty heel cups are, so they don't thrust my heels up quite as high as those do, and they still offer effective weight redistribution via their waffle weave design that my doctor specifically required any heel cups that I buy have. I've also completely ignored Amazon's Tuli's Heel Cup page specifications that suggest that you order by weight; don't I'm over 175 lbs., and the "weight" suggestion steers you towards what will most likely be too large a heel cup for your needs. I ordered "regular", which are supposed to be for customers UNDER 175 lbs., and the regular size fit my size 9 1/2 women's shoes perfectly. So, go by cup size, not weight specifications.

Overall, these heel cups are great for fitting into dress shoes, without pushing your feet up too high out of said shoes. I still plan on using my Tuli's Heavy Duty heel cups for dress shoes with greater depth, or any athletic shoes that I have, but these Tuli's Classic heel cups are great for dress shoes that don't offer a lot of extra room in them.

Now that I've got a pair of Tuli's heel cups for every shoe style I might wear them in, I think my feet are fully ready for each work week!

Unfortunately I have sever plantar fasciitis from standing 8 hours a day for years. After going to the pediatrist for months, getting specialty insoles made, doing exercises, getting cortisone injections, and trying other arch support insoles, these finally relieved my pain.

These were literally a miracle for my feet and my family who had to put up with me at the end of the work day. I hope they work as well for you!
