Foot Health Guide
Choosing Foot Health Accessories
Start by identifying whether you need cushioning around the heel, protection around the toes or separation between adjacent toes. Select a product that fits the intended area without creating excessive pressure inside the shoe.
Product fit and comfort can vary between users and footwear styles, so check the measurements, materials and product photographs before ordering.
Heel Health Products for Everyday Footwear
Heel accessories may include cushions, pads, grips and protective sleeves. These products create an additional layer between the heel and the footwear and may make firm or rubbing areas feel more comfortable.
Check that the accessory remains securely positioned and does not cause the shoe to feel too tight.
Toe Health Products for Cushioning and Separation
Toe health accessories may include separators, sleeves, cushions and protective covers. They are designed to sit around or between the toes and provide a soft barrier where direct contact or rubbing occurs.
Make sure there is enough room in the toe box so the accessory does not compress or crowd the toes.
How to Choose the Right Size and Fit
Review the product measurements and compare them with the intended area of your foot. The accessory should sit securely without slipping, pinching or restricting natural movement.
Test the fit gradually and remove the product if it causes increased pressure, numbness, irritation or discomfort.
Wearing Foot Accessories Inside Shoes
Wear foot accessories only with footwear that provides sufficient room. Shoes with a narrow toe box or close heel fit may become uncomfortable once an additional product is inserted.
Put the accessory in place before fastening the shoe and walk for a short period to check the fit.
Cleaning Reusable Foot Health Products
Follow the care directions supplied with the individual product. When washing is permitted, use mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly and allow the item to air-dry completely.
Do not wear a reusable accessory while it is damp, damaged or no longer holding its original shape.
