Indications for EPITACT® heel pads for heel spur
The EPITACT® heel pads prevent and relieve heel pain caused by heel spur and plantar fasciitis while walking. Thanks to their shock absorption capacity, they also reduce joint pain and back pain caused by the shock wave that travels through the body with each step.
How do they work?
The effectiveness of the heel pads for plantar fasciitis relies on a triple benefit:
- Relieve pain: by elevating the heel by a few millimeters, they decrease tension on the plantar fascia and reduce painful inflammation.
- Protect tendons and joints: the Physio’Choc™ platform dissipates the energy generated during the impact of the foot on the ground and ensures optimal cushioning with each step.
- Provide great comfort while walking: the core of the heel pad made of Epithelium™ silicone gel limits pressure on the painful area.
The materials that make up the heel pads for heel spur have been validated by podiatrists.
Usage tips for EPITACT® heel pads
- The heel pads for heel spur should be worn with socks, stockings, or tights.
- Before the first use, remove the protective film covering the double-sided adhesive and then position the heel pads in the shoe.
- If the heel pads are too wide for the shoe, they can be easily trimmed to the desired width with a pair of scissors.
Contraindications for heel pads for plantar fasciitis
- Do not use the heel pads on a skin lesion.
- In cases of individuals with diabetes, arteritis, polyneuropathy, lower limb neuropathy, or varicose ulcers: consult your doctor or podiatrist, and monitor your foot during use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference with gel heel pads?
To be effective, heel pads must be made of a shock-absorbing material that limits trauma related to the impact of the foot on the ground. Some gels have this capability (but not all), while Physio'Choc™ is very effective for this purpose. Additionally, since they are extremely flexible, gel heel pads promote the inward tilting of the foot in a pronation position. When worn for long periods, they can cause pain elsewhere, such as in the knee.
How to choose the right size of heel pads for heel spur?
Size S mainly corresponds to small feet; it is more suitable for women. Conversely, size L is more suitable for wide feet and generally fits men.
How to know if the heel pad is for the right or left foot?
The end of the heel pad for heel spur is beveled. The longer side should be on the inner side of the foot.
