Who needs heel cups?

A heel cup may improve cushioning of the heel but does little to stabilize it. If you have a hard heel strike, a cushion or heel cup may be helpful, but correcting your gait using Posture Control Insoles® may be more effective.

Nobody – unless they have heel spurs. If that is the case, heel cups helps disburse the pressure away from the painful area. A heel cup does nothing for foot mechanics. It does not laterally stabilize the heel.
