The heel pads from SWISSBEAR are equipped with a rich memory foam and have a 180-degree design that allows the heel to be completely enclosed. This ensures maximum ergonomic comfort and protects against unpleasant blistering and friction pain. Thanks to the particularly soft memory foam and ergonomic design, SWISSBEAR insoles guarantee lasting comfort of the highest quality throughout the day. The insoles are made from 100% skin-friendly material and are free from latex and other harmful substances, making them perfect for sensitive skin.
With improved adhesive strength, the heel supports for shoes stay firmly in place, even when worn for several hours at a time. The insoles can be easily adjusted to individual needs to ensure a perfect fit in shoes. The heel pads offer maximum protection against blisters, friction and foot pain.
