Silipos Gel Achilles Heel Pad Sleeve

A number of people suffer from Achilles Heel, causing pain throughout their foot. When you have to remain on your feet at all times, it can be hard finding the right level of support for your feet to try and minimise the discomfort this condition leaves you with.

The Silipos Gel Achilles Heel Pad Sleeve is designed to help support and comfort the feet. Suitable for use in a range of different shoes, the heel pads help to both comfort the Achilles area and moisturise the feet to encourage healing.

Who Can Benefit from the Gel Achilles Heel Pad Sleeve?

The heel pad sleeve is an open-toed sleeve that helps to cushion, comfort and protect the Achilles area of your foot. As such, the sleeve is suitable for anyone who suffers from pain in this area of their foot, whether it is Achilles Tendinitis or just an ache from where the area has been strained for too long.

The sleeve is suitable for a range of different shoes, from athletic footwear to cleats to skis to normal shoes. This makes them suitable for a wide range of different activities.

Features of the Gel Achilles Heel Pad Sleeve

The sleeves are a lightweight, toeless sleeve that supports the Achilles area.  The sleeve is coated in a medical grade oil that helps to moisturise and soften the skin, encouraging healing by promoting a healthy foot.

The sleeve works by providing gentle compression, helping to ease the pressure around an area that may be inflamed. The sleeve also helps to protect the heel from pressure and impact in the first place, stopping the issue from getting worse.

The ease of pressure helps to reduce the amount of pain caused by irregular heel bumps.

The Silipos Gel Achilles Heel Pad Sleeve is supplied as a single gel sleeve.

How Do I Clean My Gel Sleeve?

While the Silipos Gel Sleeve is suitable for machine washing, frequent washing will cause the sleeve to deteriorate quicker. For best results, we would recommend that you handwash your sleeve with a mild detergent. The expected lifespan of the sleeve is between three and six months.

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit

Using Your Shoe Size

For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.

Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.

Measuring Your Current Insoles

While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.

To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
2. Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
3. Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?

The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.

The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab

What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?

If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.

Trimming Your Insoles to Fit

To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:

1. Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
2. Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
3. Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
4. Carefully cut along the traced line
5. Your insoles should now fit your shoes better

Carefully trace the outline of your insole

Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
