When shoes you bought on sale don’t fit!
Perfect for my doc martens that are a bit too big. The adhesive lasts long as I have not had to replace them both

They Deliver!
Used the pads on inner lining that was a bit rough in some new shoes. As long as the directions are followed, they work perfectly.

Comfy but no grip
Bought these in the hole that they’d stop my feet slipping out of a pair of flat slip on shoes. They seem to make the problem worse!I can imagine they’ll be great as a cushion for sore heels – they seem good quality too – but the surface is silky and does not hold the shoe in place as I’d hoped.

Lasted one wear
Were very comfortable for one wear. Area was cleaned prior to adhesion, but after the first wear they came partially unstuck and were incredibly uncomfortable to wear, and have left stubborn residue on the lining of my shoes, very disappointed.

GAME CHANGER!
I got these hoping for the best. I love my Doc Martens but my heel was rubbing against the back on one side and it was driving my nuts. I have one pair of canvas doc martens that would rub a hole into my sock on that one side on a regular basis. I put these in and they work like a dream. Hardly noticeable once you get use to them( a day or 2). I love these so much and I’m so happy I don’t have to get rid of my 2 favorite pairs!

Finally some heel grips that work.
I have used heel grips before from a different brand that they were thin and kept peeling off so I was a bit skeptical when I ordered these. Nevertheless, my new hiking boots were about half a size too big and kept cutting badly into my heels, so I gave these a go based on the price/ review ratio.First of all, these are a really nice thickness and the cushioning is superb. Really nice and soft. They are easy to apply and actually stick to the shoe. I know some reviews mention that when you remove them they can leave a mark on the shoe, but I guess this will depend on the lining of your shoes. My boots have a breathable mesh lining that was not damaged when I eventually removed the grip, which I did to replace it because I had to wash the shoes. Glue residue might be possible, but again there are ways of removing this and I’d rather risk this than have a heel grip that slips off.I had a wound on my heel (cheers, boots!) And with a bit of gauze padding, a hydrocolloid patch and these grips I couldn’t feel it at all- also no more bleeding and it finally healed.I found these grips to be excellent value, they do the job and I would definitely recommend them.

Absolutely brilliant!
Bought these to go into my new leather boots. These are of course still very stiff and so would have definitely caused me blisters and a lot of pain if I walked them in the way they were. I’ve put these heel grips in as soon as they arrived and put them to the test. The adhesion is perfect, very strong. Also the pads are very soft and comfortable. I wore my new boots the majority of the day without any issues whatsoever, they actually felt extremely comfortable from the minute I put them on. Highly recommend and will definitely buy again if I need more.

More of a blister protector than a shoe filler
Sticks well and probably better used for people who suffer from blisters. But as a shoe filler it’s not great at all. Advert says upto 1size difference. Doesn’t fill even close to 1/4 of the size.

They’re okay but not great
Quite sticky and sometimes when I put my foot in my shoe, they peel down and get stuck to my sock.

Perfect solution for shoes that rub

Fit for purpose
I had a pair of expensive Loake shoes delivered that were “over” sized. I didn’t want to return them and thought these may solve the problem. They have so far but only worn shoes once so time will tell.

Totally Worthless for My Running Shoes
Not once but twice came off as soon as I started wearing them. They do say it’s for leather or viscose linings so maybe my running shoes have fabric lining and that’s the source of the problem but I assume that’s the case with many or most tennis/running shoes so others should beware.

Can now wear shoes that were just that little bit too big….
I have some brand new loafers in size 5…in sandals I wear a 4 but closed shoes really need to be 41/2 but it’s just practically impossible to find half-sizes nowadays unless you’re willing to pay out for more up-market brands….yet my shoes are so lovely but just need to fit properly. A 5 sometimes is just about ok but sadly this time,much too loose but a 4 pushed and cramped my toes to the front …so when I saw these had such amazing reviews I thought that they were worth a try as it wouldn’t be too expensive a loss if unsuccessful or still might come in useful later on. They arrived today, speedily in less than 24 hours!…so I tried them immediately to find that the comfort is as described,lovely soft padding…they almost fill out the gap but were still not really fitting snugly so I also adhered one on each side of the shoe with great success; adhesion is strong and secure and I was careful how I put my shoes on so as not to risk dislodging them by being rough or careless. The only “downside” for me is in the fact that they do not actually grip,being smooth,soft padded little cushions so they still slipped off my heel quite a bit when I tried my shoes on in bare feet…..however….Hurrah!….socks and pop-socks worked a treat and are the answer to that little dilemma. Socks in particular were great probably being that little bit thicker but pop-socks (or tights) still were no problem so that will be how I’ll be wearing them. A great bonus is that I’ll be able to wear brand new shoes without a worry of blisters or rubbing; also in the great pack of twelve,six were in beige and six in black and as my shoes have beige lining it is perfect and also just the right number as I used three in each shoe,leaving six black ones for anything else. I would certainly recommend these on soft comfort and padding alone and at such amazing value and speed of delivery you can’t really go wrong with a bit of trial and error for whatever suits your own needs as there’s nothing worse than uncomfortable feet when out and about! Quality items,too,being well made and packaged so nicely. 5*****

They will ruin your shoes.
They get the work done, but you need to replace them with every wear because they don’t remain in place, which ruins your shoes. They also stick to my socks lol. Overall ok, but won’t be buying again.

Good product,
I’ve used in one of my shoes which was loose near the ankle. Earlier, i was finding difficult to walk. Now, after applying heel pads, i find it comfortable to walk. Glue is also gud. It stuck nicely on my crocs shoe. Looks durable, currently happy and satified with the product.

Cheap quality
Glue doesn’t work.. instead of sticking to shoe it easily comes off with socks 🥲 also few of them while taking out for sticking itself gets waste
Manasi Pisal –
Not the right product
I got loose strips in cheap packaging not like the one shown in previous reviews. The sponge is very thin and did not make any difference for my pointed shoes. I think i will need to stick two pairs to make it thick.

Affordable & Easy!
Not crazy expensive and worth the money since you get 12 pairs – definitely a lifesaver because I’m always getting blisters no matter what shoes I wear but the downside is that it can come off quite easily, however, I think that would depend on where one applies and how you put on the shoes.The adhesives aren’t very strong, but it’s enough to suffice for one wear so I would recommend buying adhesives such as super glue to form it into your shoe.It’s definitely soft and comfy – very firm too and does give breathing space between your foot and shoe. Definitely would recommend if a shoe is half a size bigger because it will fill that gap (I normally wear a size 6 because there’s not a lot of size 5.5. shoes).I wore these with my size 6 platform boots and I wear thick socks to try and fill the gap but I found that the way I slip my shoes on makes the insoles stick to my socks, which then ends up tearing the insoles apart so like I said, may want to think about sticking the insoles with stronger adhesives to the shoe and let it dry. The way I put on my boots is almost pushing down the insoles (which probably explains how it sticks to my foot). It probably won’t come off if you loosened your shoe and wore normal/thin socks but I’m just impatient lol.

Only if your shoes are too big.
The padding will make the shoes too tight; it is too much too bulky

Too squishy
I had such high hopes that these would help make my size a bit smaller and more comfortable. I already have an insole in them but still wear big socks. These helped for about five minutes and then they flatten and didn’t help make the shoe smaller, my feet were slipping out all day so uncomfortable I haven’t tried again.

Not as thick as I’d expected
Although it’s a quality product and good value for money, the heel grips were not as thick as I had hoped and with the material being so sating/soft, they actually caused my shoes to ‘slop’ more than before. Quite disappointing really as I had hoped that they would have solved the problem.

Does the job
These stick well. I needed to use it for a pair of heels that are bigger however it doesn’t add that many inches. I was able to figure out a way to make it work. They feel nice against the back of my heels, helps with preventing blisters👍🏼

Not a good product for larger feet
This product was unfortunately disappointing. I felt deceived by the photos to be honest. The pictures give you this impression that the padding is a bit thicker in width.I expected a bit more of a cushion in these… but in person they are very, very flat. Fair amount of softness to them but overall nothing impressive.Oh, and the adhesion was completely dysfunctional within just a day walking in the office. Didn’t take that long to unstick and fold up… pretty cheap, I’ve seen regular stickers stay on better.

A little large, but great
These are great, and have been working really well in my shoes. They are a little larger than I like, and definitely take up a little more room than I was expecting, but they’ve been working well so far. I’ve worn them in shoes on and off for about a month now and they are still sticking strong. I love them crease that it has in the middle, makes it so easy to put correctly into the shoe. Exactly what I needed

Best heal grips I’ve ever used. Good value for money with so many in the pack.
I’ve had heel grips before and found them very uncomfortable. However, needed some for a pair of new shoes which were just a tiny bit too big. Saw these and decided after reading reviews to give them a go. Best ones ever. Very comfortable, don’t even know they are there. Would recommend.

Brilliant!
Bought for my daughters leather school shoes that badly rubbed her heels. These meant her shoes became instantly wearable again without rubbing and made them really comfortable to wear. They have stuck really well and have a good thickness of padding and were quick and easy to put in her shoes. Can’t recommend enough

Not grippy
Bought these for my dress shoes for work and they let me down, the title is misleading as they do not grip whatsoever and still allow my heel to slide up and down. Similarly after a while they came off and I ended up leaving them behind me at work for someone else to pick up which was utterly embarrassing
Terri –
comfy
cushions the back of the heel nicely

Not as thick as pictured 🙁
The media could not be loaded.
These are described as being suitable for shoes that are a bit too big, but seeing as they’re as flat as a pancake, they’re pretty useless for this! They are soft and padded, but not enough to stop shoes slipping off your heel. Plus, they DO NOT STICK. Pretty useless really. Don’t waste your money

Might but not quite!
On purchasing these soft, adhesive heel pads, fitted expertly! i lived in the hope of stopping the sloppy shoe motion that annoys so much..did they do the job?? Not really for me! A good product otherwise.

Good quality for the price.
They do the job that they are supposed to do on most shoes. Tried them on a pair of high heels and a pair of flats. Definitely worked better on the high heels. My flats already have a bit of cushioning around the heel tops which make a bit of a ridge and the heel grips didn’t last too long before they started to come free and slide up and over the top of the shoe. The packaging does say that they are ‘best for’ high heels though so I can’t really mark them down for not working on my flats. As I have larger feet I find it a bit awkard to find the half size that I need so I usually have to get them half a size bigger, so these heel grips are excellent to make them fit better.

No
These failed to stick and when they did they would come off as i would be walking and it took a chunk of my heel off as i was walking that was a huge ouch. These i didn’t get along with, tried many shoes but no. They are soft but they didn’t feel the best and didn’t do anything for me.

So far, so good
Reasonable price, so far so good. Place them correctly and certainly work fine.
