GloboPed - Heel Relief Shoe, Helps Reduce Recovery Time, Adjustable Straps for Superior Fit

I don’t write reviews often, but this product deserved it. Due to long hours of standing, I have a hard time performing my job. Finally, after browsing Amazon I found a good heel relief shoe. It helped me a lot with my plantar warts issue especially I can’t walk with my regular shoe all day. Great shoe since I bought it in October until the day of my foot surgery. I recommend this for anyone with heel pain.

Works wonderfully!! Wish I had this when I first started having problems. I tell everyone about it.. comfortable and easy to wear, stability while walking and standing. Great all around product

I purchased this several months ago because I have been having pain in my left heel. When I received it the way that it looks, I thought it would not work for my left foot. But I was wrong. I worked just fine. I gave it a “4” in comfort because it did not allow my heel to fall in the open area, it caused me to have some pressure on the inner aspect of my heel, thereby adding at times to the pain I was having. I must say if I pushed the shoe forward and my heel was allowed to rest in the open area I had No pain. It took about 2 or more weeks for my heel to get better and My pain to be drastically lessened. I think, if you have pain in your heels this shoe should be tried. It helped me, hopefully it can help you as well.

Highly recommend this product. I've got an elderly mother who has suffered a pressure wound on her heel. The wound was significant enough that it will likely take at least 3 months for it to heal enough for her to put pressure on it while walking. In our case, she's allowed herself to become physically weak. So her ability to walk is important while she goes through physical therapy. The straps have been designed so that once you set it across the toes and over the top of the foot, you only have to loosen/tighten a single strap behind the Achilles tendon. It slides on/off very easily with assistance. If the user has to do it on their own, it could be quite challenging if they don't have the flexibility to reach down. The tread well designed and provides good grip on carpet and linoleum. It's a great design specific to a user who has a heel injury or sore. Keep in mind that if the user needs a wheelchair, they should place that foot on a pedal instead of allowing it to drag/slide on the floor.

I got two of these for my father who has a sore on each heel. I thought it was just like the ones we got at the Dr's office, but the quality was lower. f After about a week, the back part of the shoe broke and then it became uncomfortable to wear. I used some glue to put it back together but don't expect for $60 that it would need repair in a week. Not something I can recommend and the whole purpose is to protect the heel, but the poor workmanship means it creates more heel prolems.

They do the job but are a bit confusing and hard to put on because they have so many straps and flaps. Because of their design, despite the heel relief I definitely need, I've developed two small pressure sores on a couple of my toes, which isn't good when you're diabetic. I try to wear them as little as possible and just not put my heel on the ground, but that causes other problems. Fortunately their height is about the same height as my running shoes. But I think these are very expensive for what they are,,, a bit of foam and some velcro straps. But there is no other option to my knowledge.

Very well made

While this offloading shoe may help a heel, it does not help heal the bottom of the foot issue. It's not thick enough to keep your foot from hitting the ground. It also seems to run very big. I have an ulcer on the bottom of my heal, so it didn't work for me.
