The height of the heel pad directly affects the comfort level, and everyone has different comfort points for height. So how to choose the right height heel pad?
Here are some factors to consider when selecting the height of a heel pad:
- Comfort: The primary consideration should be comfort. Choose a heel pad height that feels comfortable to wear and provides adequate support for your feet. It should not cause any pain or discomfort while walking or standing.
- Foot condition: If you have specific foot conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or heel spurs, consult with a healthcare professional or podiatrist. They can provide guidance on the appropriate heel pad height to alleviate symptoms and support your foot condition.
- Activity level: Consider the activities you will be engaging in while wearing the heel pad. For example, if you participate in high-impact activities like running or jumping, a thicker heel pad may provide better shock absorption and cushioning.
- Shoe fit: The height of the heel pad should not significantly alter the fit of your shoes. Ensure that the heel pad does not cause your foot to slide forward or create discomfort by pushing against the top of the shoe.
