heel cups
Rear foot supports
Heel cups are inserts worn inside shoes to cushion or support the heel.
They're typically made of gel, foam, or rigid plastic and fit into the heel area of existing footwear.
Some provide shock absorption for comfort, while others correct alignment issues like plantar fasciitis or heel spurs: The doctor recommended heel cups for my Achilles tendinitis.
