The placement of a heel pad can vary depending on the specific design and purpose of the pad. In general, heel pads are typically placed inside the shoe, either above or below the existing insole.
If the heel pad is designed to provide additional cushioning and support, it is usually placed below the insole. This helps to elevate the heel and provide extra comfort and shock absorption.
On the other hand, if the heel pad is intended to address leg length discrepancy, it is typically placed above the insole. By adding height to the shorter leg, the pad helps to level the hips and improve balance and alignment.
It’s important to note that the exact placement of the heel pad may depend on individual preferences and the specific recommendations of a healthcare professional. They can provide guidance on the most suitable placement based on your specific needs and the purpose of the heel pad.
