I have suffered from Plantar Fasciitis for about 18 months. Advil and icing were no longer giving any relief. I was desperate as the PF was getting debilitating. These Heal Seats gave me great relief from day 1. I wish there was an option for securing them into shoes. I am wearing them with Birkenstocks and they do tend to slip out. This wouldn't happen with a more closed shoe style, though. Highly recommend.

I am a runner (15-30 miles a week depending on my schedule) and developed serious heel pain. I purchased this product to use in my sneakers and felt almost instant relief.
For my shoes the fit was too tight, so I bought Dr. Scholls full length inserts (which I didn't like for running). I also bought on Amazon the ProStretch to stretch my calf muscles to prevent the heel pain from flaring up.
I gave this only 4 stars because I did not compare it with less expensive alternatives, and also because unless you do stretching exercises (for which you don't need any equipment, though for me the ProStretch makes it easier) the heel pain will recur, though perhaps not with the same severity.
Bottom line: using this product in conjunction with stretching exercises has enabled me to run pain free.
Update 2/11/09: I used these for three months, and then stopped when I bought a new pair of sneakers. So far I have not had to use them again. In conjunction with my stretching, I corrected whatever was causing me the heel pain.

Great product! After wearing my heel pads in various pairs of loafers for two weeks I find my heel problems dimminishing. What a comfort! Originally i had tried the drugstore "donuts" which helped for all of five minutes.
Checking on the web helped too using various execises to strengthen the calf muscles which in turn help the heel problem. End result: I will never be without my Heel Seats.

I'm a runner, currently training for the disney marathon. I started with the awful plantar fascitis issues 2 months ago, just bought my first pair of the heel seats and they do give a lot of support to the exact arch area where i have the source of my pain. Result ... i can get back to my training, on top of that i recommend taping the foot for those that are trying to do some sport & suffering from plantar fascitis. All in all this is an awesome complement, im about to order my second pair for my daily shoes. Thanks

I am on my feet daily, and over the last 2 months began having major heel pain. First thing in the morning, it'd hurt when I first stepped out of the bed, and during the work day, it'd hurt to put pressure on my heels. It appeared to be plantar fasciitis. After trying new shoes, etc, I bought a set of these. I was kinda leary, but I figured it was worth a shot. I have had them about a week, and the morning pain is nearly gone, and I can make it through the day fairly comfortably. I'm willing to bet the pain will be completely gone within a few weeks. I am buying an extra set for my other shoes. These are great. Well worth a try!

I am finally relieved of 3 years of pain. I am running again without pain in my heel. I do not use in running shoes. The daily walking around at work provides much relief.

Normally it feels like a nail being hammered into my heel, but with
the HTP heel pad inserts I have noticed no pain at all after three days of
wearing the inserts. There are a lot of products on the market that say
they can heal the pain. HTP not only says they will heal the pain,
they back it up with a product that works.

I made my order on a Thursday after 3:00 PM.. ..I received my heel pads that Saturday. I felt an IMMEDIATE difference! My heel was sore for a couple
days, but nowhere near the agony I had been experiencing. I've now been wearing them for a week and am running around like a teen again
(I'm 20+ years past being a teen)! I have tried other heel inserts, anit inflamatories, ice, yada, yada, yada, to no avail. I have never written any
company to thank them for their services before. Your produt AND services are just awesome! Thank you!

I just had to write and let you know what a wonderful product you have. I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for almost 2 years. I have had a cortisone shot in my heel which gave me two weeks of relief. The pain was so severe I could hardly walk and resorted to using a cane. I went to the "Good Feet" store and spent over $400.00 on their inserts which hurt so much I couldn't walk. They refused to give me a refund! I then went to a store that specialized in orthotics and bought the best sneakers they had and asked them to insert whatever they do for anyone who has plantar fasciitis. They put arch supports and other stuff inside and I kept going back because I was now developing a spur on the back of my heel. I was in such pain and so frustrated. I ordered your Heel Seats and I have been wearing them for about 10 days and my heel pain is gone. I can even get out of bed in the morning and walk on the floor with my bare feet, without a cane. I can't say enough about your product but I do want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I don't normally do this kind of thing- but felt compelled to do so-
My 12 year old son has suffered tremendous on going heel pain (due to
Sever's disease) He is extremely active, involved in all sorts of sports and
I hated having to limit his activity because of heel pain. Since we received
the heel plates last week, he has already noticed a tremendous difference in
how he feels. As quoted by a twelve year old- "these are way better than
anything you ever got at the doctors office or the store" He wears a pair in
his every day sneakers and also in his cleats for practice. What a
difference. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!

My heel pain began about 3 months ago. Left heel began to hurt in the morning, and it has progressively worsened lately. The first day I tried the HTP Heel Seats my condition seemed to improve. The following day I walked to work (1 mile)! As I write this, the heel feels pain free! I can't believe the difference! Thanks very much.

I was very skeptical when I ordered the inserts, I have very expensive orthoritics from a podiatrist and I hated them. I got them adjusted about
6 times. They never helped at all. Then I tried some name brand inserts...nothing. You can understand the doubt. When I got them in the mail
I didn't hold much hope. I opened the box and put them in. Oh My Gosh! Within minutes my heels felt relief like I havent felt in years! The longer
I wear them the better my feet feel. I can't say enough for your product except thank you so much. It is great to be able to get out of bed in the
morning and be able to walk without having to waddle around until me feet felt a little better! Its great I would recommend them highly. Thank
you again.

Relief with the FIRST STEP! I have been to 6 doctors for help with Plantar Fasciitis, and now heel spur. Have done the ice, wall stretching, physical therapy, awful cortisone shots, tried 5-6 silicon heel cups and the inserts with the dot and thought I guess I can try one more thing. I put this Heel Seat in my shoe and had instant relief. I mean with the first step I did not feel the heel spur! Thank You!

Competing as a runner in marathons really damaged my feet and heels over time. It got to the point where I wanted to give up running alltogether! I heard about your product during a discussion before a race which led me to try them. I love them! I wear them at home, while working out, and even running. They do it for me.

Gary writes:
I was skeptical of a product that could heal my pain because it hurt so bad I could barely walk in the morning to get moving. I went ahead and bought it anyway and in just 3 days I could feel a major difference. After just one week of wearing the pads, I got out of bed this morning and walked without pain for the first time in 4 months. It was great!! Thanks for a wonderful product and I will recommend you to anybody else that has heel spurs in the future.

Nancy writes:
I can't believe the immediate relief I felt the morning after I wore the inserts. Usually in the morning, it is like walking on "broken glass fragments" for a few minutes. Now, I can walk without pain. Thank you, thank you very much. I have tried many other inserts, but this pair is the best.

Trevor writes:
It took about 3, maybe 4 steps in your heel seats before I was blown away by the relief. I don't understand how these little blue things can take away a condition that has had me suffering for years, but they did. Maybe you guys can start a back pain product too?

I work standing up for 10 hours a day on concrete. I weigh 250lb+. I was experiencing a single point of pain in the heel of my right foot. After 5 hours we break for lunch I would sit down and when I'd get back up it would be extremely painful , to the point of hobbling .The 1st day of wearing the inserts there was an incredible reduction in the amount of pain and I didn't even hobble after lunch. Now about 2 weeks later though there is a bit of pain in the heel , feels like a bruise, I can put my weight on it again without shoes on . It seems to be healing just like your website claims. Is a happy surprise since you normally can't believe advertising claims 100% . I Just had to write to you to say how relieved my feet are and how happy I am with your product. I will be recommending it to any that have the same problem .

I have been wearing your product for two months now. I must say that my
feet, particularly my right foot, has never felt better. I won't get into the
particulars as to what medically is wrong with my foot but your product has
decreased the pain so much, that I have now started back on my exercise
routine. Which of course makes my doctor quite happy. I'm telling all my friends
about your wonderful product and several have already placed their orders. I
would tell anyone give it a chance and you will be amazed by the results.

I've been using the HTP Heel Seat for the last 4 weeks and have experienced an almost miraculous recovery from the symptoms of my sciatic pain.

Very painful burning in my soles brought tears to my eyes. I decided to give the HTP Heel Seats a try. Immediately, I couldn't believe it! I completely forgot about the pain!

I have had progressive, excrutiating heel pain for about 3 or 4 months now. I could hardly walk at all and spent a lot of time on ice and massage. Then I tried your HTP Heal Seats, OH MY GOODNESS! The first time I slipped my foot into the shoe with the HTP orthotic it felt like a miracle of relief. My heels were still tender but without pain. God Bless you both heels are so much better!

Im always on my feet throughout the day, and the heel pain usually becomes unbearable by the end of the day. I had tried most of the popular brands including Dr. Scholl, Heel Arch Pad, Donut Pad, and they didn't seem to work. I started with your Heel Seats a week ago. After the third day, felt a lot of relief and is still continuing.

Within three weeks I felt absolutely no pain! Before I was in so much pain I had to liump anywhere I had to go. I really didn't believe that it would work, but it did!.. I had joined a gym and started the treadmill and I did too much until I couldn't walk for weeks.. Thought it would go away by iteself, but it wouldn't so I tried these because I was desperate for help. Well they worked and I would recommend them to anyone with the heel pain problem. Thanks for your amazing heel seats...I am a believer now!!!

I just wanted to say that I recently ordered a second pair of your inserts. I have been wearing a pair since February and they are a miracle. I had previously had the surgery on my left heel and it took almost two years before that heel pain was normal. I now have plantar fasciitis in my right foot and your heel insert works as good as the expensive surgery. Why undergo surgery, have pain for two years when I can order your heel insert for $29.95. I just got tired of switching the inserts from shoe to shoe, so decided to order a 2nd pair. Your inserts are the best!!

This is the third day I have worn the HTP heel seats and this is the first time in several months I can honestly say my heel pain has decreased
dramatically. Of course, I wanted the seats to work instantly the first day but my husband kept saying give it some time. I have been in
extreme pain for quite some time now and am excited about what the heel seats seem to be doing. What a dramatic difference. I was using Dr. Scholls
inserts (blue gel bottom) and that wasn't doing anything.. I've tried other forms of Dr. Scholls inserts and they did not work either. I'll definately
recommend your product to anyone I know who has the same problem as myself.

When I researched these heel seats, which was about a month ago, I was in so much pain I couldn't even put my foot down on the floor. I'm an
avid tennis player and play approx. five to six times per week. Of course, in so much pain I had to give up some of my games........and then
out of desperation, I sent for your heel seats. At first they hurt my arch - but my heel was not so intense so I stuck with them and wore them
everyday in all my shoes and in about two weeks my arches didn't hurt anymore and, the best part is that I'm back on the tennis court with
absolutely no pain in my heel. I'm thrilled. I think this is a great product. Now if you could only send me something to help my backhand!!!

In the mornings, I had experienced more pain in my right heel. The pain was sharp whenever pressure was applied. The HTP Heel Seats provided support to my heel where it was greatly needed. With the added support, the pressure and the pain have been noticeably reduced. Walking, jogging, or running is more comfortable - without the pain!
