RTP Athletic Heel Pad XC (Medium)

Q: Do heel cups help Achilles tendonitis?

Thank you for your question. Yes! We've had testers who's had Achilles tendonitis and torn Achilles tendon test the heel pads and both testers had reduced their pain significantly. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

Q: The Sorbothane marterial in these heel pads...are they any different from the insoles sold by Sorbothane themselves? What makes these any better?

Thank you for your question. The heel pads were co-engineered with Sorbothane. Couple of key differences are: 1. Our heel pads are thinner than any heel pads made with Sorbothane on the market. 2. To allow for shock absorption even with the thinner design, the softness were enhanced. 3. Unlike the Sorbothane heel pads, our heel pads are naturally sticky on both sides so the heel pads do not move inside the shoes even if the user moves rigorously in any of the sports. 4. Our heel pads were designed to go underneath the original insoles of the user and even the most sensitive athletes barely feels the heel pads inserted so the athlete does not have to deal with another variable in the way their shoes feel. We hope that answers your questions! Let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you! Team RTP
