Two common shoe problems, one simple fix. Heel Hugs soft foam cushions stop shoes from slipping off the heel and prevent the back of the shoe from rubbing against sore or sensitive heel skin — all while absorbing shock to cushion and protect with every step. The self-adhesive backing positions easily inside any shoe and stays put, and the trimmable design lets you customize the fit for your footwear. Works in women’s and men’s shoes. One size fits most. Sold as a pair.
Will these stay in place inside my shoe?
Yes. Heel Hugs feature a self-adhesive backing that adheres to the interior of the shoe and stays in place during wear. For best adhesion, apply to a clean, dry shoe interior. Avoid applying over fabric linings that are heavily textured or loose, as adhesion may be reduced.
Can I trim these to fit my shoes?
Yes. The cushions are trimmable, so you can cut them to the exact size needed for your footwear using scissors. This makes them compatible with a wide range of shoe styles and sizes, including narrow dress shoes, flats, and casual footwear.
Do these work for heel pain or heel spurs?
Heel Hugs provide cushioning and shock absorption that can help reduce discomfort from general heel soreness and pressure during walking. They are not a medical treatment for heel spurs or plantar fasciitis. If you have chronic or severe heel pain, consult a podiatrist or physician for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Do these work in both men’s and women’s shoes?
Yes. The self-adhesive, trimmable design works in most styles of men’s and women’s footwear including dress shoes, loafers, flats, sneakers, and casual shoes. They are not designed for use in open-back shoes or sandals.
