PPTŪ Heel Lifts for heel pain, plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis are 1/4" thick and cushioned to help to disperse the force of impact at the heel. The heel lifts elevate the heel to take stress off of the Achilles tendon and the arch. Heel lifts help disperse pressure more evenly between the forefoot and the rearfoot. Langer designs their Heel Lifts out their unique PPTŪ material. PPTŪ is the #1 medical grade soft-tissue supplement for cushioning, durability and shock absorption. PPTŪ has been approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. The pads will adhere to a shoe liner or insole.
Medical Usage of Heel Lifts
PPTŪ Heel Lifts are recommended for general heel pain, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, calcaneal apophysitis and achillles tendonitis. Heel lifts can also be helpful for midfoot pain and forefoot problems in those with tight calf muscles.
PPTŪ Heel Lifts are self adhesive and available in 3 sizes. Sold as a pair. |

Tight Calf Muscles: Many individuals have tight calf muscles. When the calf muscle and Achilles tendon are tight, it causes an abnormal motion when walking. It is essentially pulling the heel bone up earlier than during the normal phase of walking. In response to this, excess pressure is placed on the midfoot, the plantar fascia and the forefoot, as seen in this picture below. As the heel continues to elevate off the ground, a tremendous amount of pressure is transfered to the forefoot. Heel lifts bring the ground to the heel, helping to distribute the pressure more evenly between the forefoot and rearfoot and decreasing stress on the Achilles tendon and relieving pressure from the arch and forefoot. |
