To avoid the pain returning during the day, it is important to completely relieve the heel while walking. For this purpose, we recommend using pressure relieving insoles, which you can choose from the 10 best insoles for plantar fasciitis, or using a cinch band.

Why is an insole needed for heel spurs, how is it used and what can replace it?
Plantar fasciitis pain is caused by microscopic damage to the connective tissue in the heel.
Most people notice an increase in pain in the morning when trying to step on their heels after waking up.
Special orthopedic aids such as the heel spur orthosis and the Strassburg toe can help with this pain.
In this article you will learn how to use these tools and how they work on heel spurs.
How do orthoses help with heel spurs?
The heel fascia, also known as the soleus tendon, is involved in forming the longitudinal arch of the foot and takes on the load when supporting the foot.
Inflammation of the fascia causes micro-tears in the connective tissue of the heel, which become inflamed and painful. Damaged fascia is particularly painful when standing, walking or running for long periods of time.
At night, the microcracks begin to heal, albeit with a slight shortening. This is why the fasciae are damaged again when they get up in the morning and the person concerned feels severe pain.
Why does the fascia grow together through shortening? This is because the foot is in a natural position at night, with the toes extended and the ankle relaxed.
A heel spur bandage, which orthopaedists always recommend, fixes the fascia in a stretched state so that it can grow back properly.
The device holds the foot at a 90 degree angle to the ankle, like standing on the foot. Micro-injuries heal overnight and since the fascia does not need to contract, the damage does not recur.
Overnight braces that fix the fascia in a stretched position help speed the healing of the spur and reduce pain and inflammation.
The duration of the use of orthoses is 1-6 months, depending on the complexity of the disease and the effectiveness of the treatment prescribed by the doctor.
orthopedic products
The use of heel pads, orthotics and midsoles will help relieve pain, speed up the healing of inflammation and reduce tension in the joints of the feet and spine. However, in order to buy the right orthosis for heel spurs, you should first consult an orthopedist who will select the right model.
The doctor will examine the musculoskeletal system, analyze the symptoms and determine the possible causes of the pain. He will refer the patient for an X-ray of the feet to check for any bone or joint abnormalities.
– Acts as a shock absorber between the insole and the inflamed area;
– restore tendons and joints to their correct physiological position;
– reducing inflammation of the tissue and area under the spur;
– Eliminate the cause of inflammation and pain.
Orthoses can be ordered in an orthopedic specialty store, where specialists will make them according to individual measurements from high-quality material. Alternatively, you can buy the device at a pharmacy or online.
– The night orthosis for the heel spur must be precisely tailored to the size. The heel pad should fit snugly but not pinch. This ensures good fixation of the soft tissues and prevents the foot from slipping sideways.
– The ready-to-wear range starts at size 35 and goes up to size 46. If your foot is smaller or has anatomical peculiarities, it is better not to buy an insole, but to order one in an orthopedic specialty store.
– When choosing, look at different models, paying attention to the weight, size, durability and other characteristics of the product.
– It is important to try on the product where it is intended to be worn so that it does not cause any discomfort when worn.
It is recommended to purchase the insoles individually for each pair of shoes.

indications
The orthosis is prescribed for severe pain when walking. The pain is easily localized in the heel area. It is caused by the pressure that the tip of the bone exerts on the soft tissue.
If left untreated, the systematic damage to the soft tissues leads to the development of inflammation, even faster growth of the spur and other problems.
A soft-fitting orthosis can correct gait and relieve pressure on the heel area. A night orthosis fixes the foot in the correct position during sleep and thus secures the position.
Different types of insoles
There are many different insoles for heel spurs. We want to list some of them:
- Different types of special insoles. These have an increase in the heel area, which in turn has a special recess. This reduces the pressure of the spur on the soft tissue. Insoles improve blood circulation in the heel area, which speeds up metabolism, reduces swelling and reduces the intensity of inflammation.

The burden of choice
With the large number of treatment methods for heel spurs, more and more experts see the creation of physiologically favorable conditions for the foot, ie pressure relief, as the main treatment method. Without this, no healing is possible.
That's why orthoses, insoles and Strasbourg socks are the first choice. Massage and physical therapy can help them. Shockwave therapy is a new and very effective method, but it needs to be 'supported' with the same insoles. And daily exercises.
Injections are a short-term treatment for acute pain, but you cannot live on them for the rest of your life. However, if you supplement them with kinesio-tiping, you get a full-fledged method with good results. But after the treatment you have to wear orthotics again.
When all else fails, gamma therapy and surgical removal of calcium deposits are used.
- Heel spurs take many months to form.
- Chronic plantar fasciitis is caused either by an unfavorable load distribution or by irritation of the fascia by calcium deposits in the heel bone.
- Longitudinal flatfoot is one of the main causes of heel spurs.
- The most effective physiotherapeutic treatments for heel spurs are ultrasound therapy and electrophoresis with different substances.
Foot massage is an important complementary treatment for plantar fasciitis. It is particularly recommended as a supplement to the various methods of foot relief (insoles, night orthoses, Strasub socks) and physiotherapeutic treatment. The massage helps soften the tissues and improve local blood circulation. After treatment, it is important to continue daily foot exercises.
Types of orthopedic insoles for heel spurs
- Hollow soles – with a combined or elongated shape. The products are recommended for flat feet;
- Half insoles - no toe piece. Suitable for wearing with narrow high-heeled shoes;
- Crampons – to relieve the heel.
Manufacturers offer a wide range of insoles with an orthopedic effect. Products should be purchased after consultation with an orthopedist, who will take into account the degree of pathology and individual characteristics, including weight. The medical specialist can recommend a ready-made product or advise purchasing a custom-made product.
A professionally made product includes the following components:
Natural leather, gel, silicone and felt are used to create the product. The quality of the material determines longevity and comfort.
How to choose orthopedic insoles for heel spurs?
Accessories must be chosen carefully, because incorrectly selected products can cause further deformation of the foot and accelerate the development of the disease. The product must provide adequate cushioning when walking.
Try the bowls before you buy them. You should not feel the slightest discomfort after wearing the insole. You should also be guided by the size of your foot and your individual anatomy, as well as the degree of the pathological process. The most convenient products are those that are made to order. But with the right choice, the finished product will also perfectly cope with its task:
- prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system;
- to fix the foot in the right position;
- lift the heel area;
- prevent pain;
- improvement of blood circulation.
The use of this accessory shortens the duration of conservative therapy.
Commercial availability
The Orliman ankle orthosis FP01 provides a slight elevation of the arch of the foot. Targeted support of the plantar fascia reduces stress in this area, reduces inflammation and prevents further micro-trauma.
The elastic band provides dynamic compression with continuous elastic tension. It works not only when the foot touches the ground, but also during all phases of walking, allowing a continuous action on the longitudinal fascia, preventing further micro-injuries and reducing pain and inflammation.
The band pressure can be individually adjusted with a Velcro fastener. The soft, non-elastic, anatomically shaped cuff wraps around the ankle area. It acts as a fulcrum for the force that will support the plantar fascia.
Gel inserts on the front and back prevent chafing and relieve the sensitive areas around the ankle. The perforation on the cuff provides ventilation and prevents moisture from forming under the orthosis.
For maximum therapeutic effect, use with orthotic insoles is recommended.
Special features:
- medium fixation
- directional support
- elastic band
- Velcro for individual pressure adjustment
- Inflexible cuff with anatomical shape
- Gel padding on front and back
- Perforation at cuff
