After a self-diagnosis of plantar fasciitis, I searched the Internet for some relief. I found a running website that recommended rest, ice, and the Tuli heel cup (of which there are several kinds). Further investigation indicated that the Tuli Gel Polar Bears might make a good choice.

I wasn't too happy when the package from Amazon arrived because I had bought nails for my nail gun to qualify for the free shipping, and they had erupted from their box and were loose in the larger packing container. Then when I tried to extricate the gel heel pads from their plastic prison, they appeared to be welded to the sides. The pads are stronger than they appeared and came out with no tears.

So here is the purpose of this babbling review: Relief came with the FIRST step on the Tuli Gel Polar Bears. If you have been hobbling because of heel pain, give these things a try. They are inexpensive when you consider the alternatives.

I had a heel flare up out of nowhere a few months ago and hobbled around in severe pain. After researching a bit on the internet, I discovered that this condition is quite common and easy to remedy by wearing heel cups for several weeks/months.

To say these cups were a lifesaver is putting it mildly because I could barely walk. I chose to wear them in both shoes because since they came as a pair, I figured I might as well wear them as a pair. I like that they make me a little taller, too :)

Now, I have no more pain and don't even have to wear them anymore. Also, I used these doing yard work and got dirt all in my shoes. These are easily washable right in the kitchen sink. Pretty much only have to rinse them and dirt comes right off.

I used the Tuli's Heavy Duty Gel Heel Cups when I had plantar fascitis. After that cleared up I got these heel cups because the sides are not as tall so they don't show over the top of my shoes. These still have the waffle pattern in the center so they give the same comfort as the heel cups with the waffle pattern all over. I also like the idea that you can hand wash these when needed.

I bought these heel cups because I was having extreme pain in my heels during my runs and after my runs. It hurt to walk even a day later after my run. I bought this product and can honestly say all my heel pain is gone. I would recommend these heel cups to anyone having heel pain.

I have a heel spur that is very painful, these have helped relieve some of the pain...would recommend them to a friend

inserts slip too easily - do not stay in place. I find that a full insole works best

Within 50 steps these heel cups rotate 90 degrees and become very uncomfortable in the shoe. I don't know about you, but I don't have time to keep taking off my shoes at work and realigning them.

By the other style of heel cushion Tuli's makes here:

Good material, already tested in the past it really helps with heel pain. Fits easily in every kind of shoes. Though keep in mind better to be used to prevent , rather than to cure.

Cups are not worth the money they are soft and don't do the job advertised

very unhappy with them and had to reorder Tuli's hard plastic cups later in

another order don't waste your money.

Cups are to flimsy and to much jelly.

I have purchased products locally that did not really give me the help I wanted. These fit my needs very well.
