How do you use heel gel pads?

Heel gel pads are used by placing them inside your shoes with the sticky side down to provide cushioning and support for your heels.

Steps to Use Heel Gel Pads

Here’s a step-by-step guide, based on the video reference, to help you use heel gel pads effectively:

Preparation:
- Begin by opening the packaging of the gel heel pads.
- You’ll notice a thin cellophane layer separating the pads to prevent them from sticking together, as highlighted in the video. Remove this cellophane, as it is meant to be disposed of.
- The gel pad has a shiny and tacky surface, that helps in holding the pads in place once inside the shoe.
Placement:
- Position the gel heel pad inside your shoe.
- The shiny and tacky side of the pad should face down, adhering to the insole of your shoe.
- Ensure the pad is placed where your heel will make contact for optimal cushioning and support.
Adjustment:
- Try on your shoes, to ensure the gel heel pads are comfortable.
- Make adjustments as needed to achieve the best fit and heel support.
- Once you are happy with the placement, the pads should remain fixed due to their adhesive properties.

Clean Shoes: Ensure your shoes are clean and dry before inserting the heel pads for optimal adhesion.
Correct Positioning: Precise placement is crucial; adjust as needed for comfort.
Consider Shoe Type: Gel heel pads work best in closed-toe shoes with a defined heel area.
Regular Inspection: Check the pads periodically for wear and replace them as needed to maintain effective cushioning.
