By absorbing the impact of each step and reducing direct pressure on the heel bone and plantar fascia attachment point, they can provide meaningful pain relief during standing and walking. For best results, they should be used alongside appropriate footwear, stretching exercises, and — for persistent pain — advice from a podiatrist or physiotherapist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I choose between small and large sizes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe small size is suitable for EU shoe sizes 33–38 (approximately UK 2–5), and the large size covers EU 39–46 (approximately UK 6–11). If you are between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger option for more coverage. The cushions can be trimmed slightly to fit if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I move the heel cushions between different pairs of shoes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — the gel heel cushions can be removed and repositioned between shoes. Simply peel them out carefully after use. Over time the adhesive backing may lose some of its grip; if needed, a small amount of shoe insole adhesive can be used to reposition them. Avoid folding or bending the cushions as this can damage the gel structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre these heel pads suitable for use with orthotics or arch supports?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn most cases, gel heel cushions can be used alongside flat arch insoles in shoes with sufficient interior space. If you are wearing custom or semi-custom orthotics prescribed by a podiatrist, check with your podiatrist before adding heel cushions underneath them, as this may affect the biomechanical function of the orthotic device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean the gel heel cushions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the cushions with a damp cloth and mild soap after use. Allow to air dry completely before returning to your shoe. Do not soak in water or machine wash. Proper cleaning and drying will help maintain the adhesive backing and extend the life of the cushions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ActiveSupport UK","offers":[{"title":"Large Blue (39-46)","offer_id":57106257346943,"sku":"1803360542807732224","price":16.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large size red (39-46)","offer_id":57106257379711,"sku":"1803360542807732225","price":16.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large size pink (39-46)","offer_id":57106257412479,"sku":"1804796684031692804","price":16.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small blue (33-38)","offer_id":57106257445247,"sku":"1804796684031692807","price":16.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small red (33-38)","offer_id":57106257478015,"sku":"1804796684031692810","price":16.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small pink (33-38)","offer_id":57106257510783,"sku":"1804796684031692813","price":16.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/3239\/4367\/files\/580367f540c38010cf9985ac3d90.png?v=1773180977"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.activesupportuk.co.uk\/collections\/shoes.oembed","provider":"ActiveSupport UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
