Viscoelastic Heel Cups
Shock forces are a product of mass (weight) and velocity (speed). If you can slow rebound velocity and alter its direction, you dampen and dissipate shock forces. This is exactly what the Viscoelastic Heel Cups are designed to do. The heel cups help in reducing the pain associated with heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, and achilles tendonitis. Press your thumb into the center of a shock absorbing heel pad or cup, then withdraw it rapidly. If the material recovers just in time for the next heel strike, it’s providing maximum shock force reduction. If the material rebounds instantly, the shock force is absorbed by the skeletal structure. The Viscoelastic Heel Cups are computer generated and feature a biomechanically engineered visco-flow control that dampens and reduces heel strike rebound velocity. This allows heel strike shock waves to be dispersed from vertical to horizontal. The Viscoelastic Heel Cups may be placed on wedges or glued in place. These are the ultimate heel cups to optimize shock absorption and weight distribution in your shoes.
