| It seems that the people making our shoes today are too cheap to put good shoe padding in them even though we are paying record prices for them. As a result many people like myself are ending up with heel problems. Mine started after I started walking and running for exercise. I tried Nike, New Balance, Easy Spirit and Reebox, you name it, but I still ended up with plantar fasciitis or heel spurs and had so much heel pain that I could not walk on my heels in the morning or after I would drive my car for a while. The heel pain was so excruciating that I could not even do simple things like walk through a mall or walk the dog. It got so bad that I could barely walk across my living room floor without getting on my tip toes.
Things were complicated because I am somewhat overweight. I tried many things until I found these $15.00 spongy shoe cushion inserts on the web at; www.heelbillys.com. I guess they call them “Heelbillys” because they don’t look like your typical orthotic, or shoe cushion. They are about 4 inches tall, but work better than any expensive orthotic or shoe cushion that I have ever had including custom made shoe cushions. My heel spur and pain is gone now from wearing these ‘Heelbilly” shoe cushions, but I still wear them in all my shoes including my house shoes and would not be without them because I don’t want the heel spur or plantar fasciitis to return. After all of the heel pain that I experienced,
I making this posting because I don’t want anyone to experience the heel pain from a heel spur that I experienced because of poorly cushioned shoes. I really want people to know that there is help for their poorly cushioned shoes and I think that if you don’t have heel pain or heel spurs, should do yourself a big favor by getting a pair of these “Heelbillys” and “putting them in your shoes for extra padding as a preventive measure, for preventing heel spurs, especially if you do a lot of walking or running. I have tried to get these shoe cushion inserts stores but have only found them on the web at; www.heelbillys.com. |
