We bring you two insoles with which you will be able to relieve heel pain. Your feet start from today, a new life.

Causes of heel pain

The causes of heel pain can be diverse, but in most cases they are mainly due to an overload in the area or to suffering from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis or heel spurs.

The following causes of pain in the area are less common:

• rheumatoid arthritis
• stress fracture
• tarsal tunnel syndrome
• bursitis
• bone tumor

What is plantar fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs with inflammation of the fascia, which is the central area of the foot, between the metatarsals and the heel.
The age, the obesity, the use of an inadequate footwear or certain forms of the foot like having it cavo or flat, can produce the inflammation of the fascia and with it pain in the heel.

Achilles tendinitis

Achilles tendonitis is the inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which is the tendon that connects the muscles of the back of the leg below the knee to the heel bone.
It is common in athletes who suddenly increase their sports practice or among those who practice sporadically or on weekends.

Calcaneal Spur

And finally, calcaneal spur is a calcification of the heel bone in the shape of a hook. It causes more bone to be in contact with the surface, causing pain and inflammation in the area.
In turn, the calcaneal spur is usually caused by plantar fasciitis or by an incorrect distribution of our weight when walking.

How to relieve heel pain

Now that we know the causes, let’s move on to the solutions!

To relieve heel pain you have several options, among which are:

• Physiotherapy, exercises and stretching that will relieve tension in the area.
• Use of anti-inflammatory drugs, always under medical prescription.
• Rest.
  Although most likely you will not be able to do it on a regular basis as it will break with your daily dynamics and most of the time we can not afford it, at least as a remedy to relieve heel pain.
• Use heel cushions or specific insoles, and appropriate footwear that gives you support and grip.
  The right footwear is essential, as it will ensure that your foot is well supported and the traction of your foot when walking or playing sports will be correct, without forcing any part of the foot or its sole.
  Regarding insoles, you have different options, we tell you all about them in the following section.

Insole for heel pain relief

When it comes to Inoles to relieve heel pain, there are basically two options on the market:

1.Insole handmade by an orthopedist. They are custom-made for your foot and the pathology you have.
The disadvantage is that they are not very comfortable and do not fit well in all shoes, so you end up not wearing them.
They also tend to have a higher price than other options, since their development is more handmade.

2.Gel Insole. There are many types, but they all have in common that they are very comfortable, of standard sizes, that they deform easily and their durability is poor.
Depending on their shape and the shape of your foot, with prolonged use you may notice pain and discomfort because they do not fully adapt to your foot.

And now you have a new solution to relieve heel pain.
Two solutions in fact: the Smou Complet insole and the Smou Heel long heel pad.

Insole for heel pain relief Smou Complet

Smou Complet are the first insoles we launched on the market, and currently the best-selling, because they are also the most versatile.

This will ensure that your stride and weight distribution when walking are correct and that the foot perfectly distributes its load on the surface, thus preventing the development of future pathologies and helping to correct the present ones and eliminate pain.

On the other hand, it specifically treats heel spur pain with a really useful removable piece.
You can replace the removable rear part with a softer one or simply remove it.
With this you will get that your spur is completely in the air and without friction with the surface.
A marvel to unload the area and so you can walk without pain in the heel caused by heel spur.

Smou Heel long heel pain reliever Smou Heel

As for the long heel pad, it is specific for fasciitis and spur.
It does not cover metatarsalgia but if you have never had pain in the metatarsal area, this insole will be sufficient and is cheaper than the Smou Complet.

It also has a removable heel spur specific insert.
And because plantar fasciitis is one of the causes of heel pain, the Smou Heel also covers the fascia for proper support in the area.

Both Inoles have a patented design by orthopedists, as they are suitable for all types of feet.
They have a bridge but not excessive, which is ideal for a person who has a cavus foot, but not bothersome for a person who has a flat foot.
