Wearing ill-fitted, improper shoes all day can wreak havoc on your feet. A great way to make your shoes more comfortable is by adding a pair of insoles to them. Heel grips or heel strips are adhesive pads often used to pad shoes with uncomfortable pinching heels. Due to their thin strip-like design, these inserts can be used anywhere in the shoe to fill up extra space. To know how these strips can help provide you with a comfortable and easy fit around your heel, read the guide below.

1: Stop Heel Slippage

When your feet slip out of your shoes while walking or completely pops out, leaving your boots behind, it is known as heel slipping. Most of the time, heel slipping is experienced when walking with new shoes and can sometimes cause you to lose your balance and get injured. Sliding leather heel grips to the inside of the heels can prevent slipping and sliding in your shoes and help you stay comfortable all day.

2: Prevent Blisters

Wearing tight shoes or shoes that do not fit properly often creates rubbing and friction on sensitive areas of your heel causing painful blisters. Blisters develop very quickly and can take several days to heal. While keeping feet in good condition, applying foot cream regularly and wearing well- fitted shoes and socks can play a vital role in preventing blisters, inserting anti-slip heel strips can stop your feet from moving around inside your shoes, preventing blisters.

3: Makes Your Shoes More Comfortable To Wear

When gel heel strips are inserted in your shoes, it not only helps provide extra cushioning in your shoes but also forms a protective barrier between the skin of your heel and your shoes, helping reduce friction and make shoes more comfortable to wear. Also, adding these shoe inserts into loose-fitting or oversized new shoes can help prevent slipping and add extra volume, making it fit perfectly. Heel grips keep your heel in place and help protect and support your heels from pain.

Suitable for high heels, leather shoes, dress shoes casual shoes, and canvas shoes, heel strips are easy to use and are quite inexpensive. They can be easily purchased from a large grocery store or any cobbler or online store. Inserting heel grips in your shoes provides a combination of cushioning and arch support and ensures that you walk and stay comfortable in your shoes all day.
