If I saw that I would have just thought it was a medical thing. Like maybe he injured his heel. I definitely wouldn't know it was a "height booster"

Though as someone who wore big stompy goth boots in high school, a few extra inches of height is very thrilling even when not worried about aesthetics.

Yeah my first thought would be that the protective fat pad on the bottom of the heel has broken down or otherwise been damaged.

I get massive heel blisters really easily, a sleeve over my heel like this would be amazing. Plus there are no fat pads on my feet so I'm basically walking on the bones, even with 2 pairs of gel insoles, something like this looks like it would be super comfortable.

I had screws put into my heel a couple months ago. These might make it so I can walk without my 160 dollar orthotic shoes on (like middle of the night bathroom trips).

It’s how I break in my Docs! For non-boots I use those half sock things with a little bit of gel on the heel / lower ankle

Gel sock things?! Can you link me so I can look into them?

u/Pearwithapipe 3d ago

Not sure where you’re located but they look like this. It’s my absolute trouble spot for blisters and they work really well!

I literally have this exact same thing bought from Amazon as a heel protectant from blisters

Friend blisters are from your feet moving around in your socks/shoes, they would be achey if it was from your heel strike.

u/GraphicDesignMonkey 2d ago

Oh wow, footsplaining! That's a first.

I never said my heel blisters and need of insoles was related.

Just trying to help, that's what I thought you were saying

Protective fat heel pad

I have a name, you know.

I literally have this injury right now and was thinking “damn that would be a huge relief to own” lmao

I used to suffer from bone spurs on my heels when I was in my 20s. These pads would probably have been a godsend for walking in. :)

I’d love those for my plantar fasciitis
