Key Features and Benefits

Material: The primary material is soft medical-grade silicone. It's known for being stretchy, durable, washable, and reusable. Some products may also be made with a blend of silicone and fabric.

Protection and Relief: The main functions are to:

Prevent and Heal Cracks: The silicone provides a protective barrier and helps to lock in moisture, which is crucial for healing dry, cracked heels (also known as heel fissures).

Pain Relief: They are often used to relieve pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles tendonitis, and general soreness from walking or standing for long periods.

Cushioning: The silicone acts as a shock absorber, providing extra cushioning to the heel and reducing pressure on the heel bone.
