Heel Cups and Heel Pads are two different types of heel cups and pads.
It’s all about alternatives when it comes to heels.
Cups for the heels
Heel cups are important for correcting foot posture and improving gait in addition to providing comfort, cushioning, and shock absorption. Controlling inversion and eversion with a deeper heel cup in your bespoke orthotic is possible. Because it takes up less space in the shoe, a lower heel cup is perfect for a dress shoe.
Heel Cushion
Heel pads are used to alleviate heel spur pain. This soft cushion can also be used as an internal lift in the heel.
SOLO allows you to choose the material and thickness of your heel pads, which are typically comprised of 1/8″ soft material.
