Heel products belong to the Insoles category and include products intended for additional comfort, pressure relief and skin care in the heel area. The heel is a part of the foot that carries daily load during walking, standing and wearing shoes, which may lead to discomfort, pressure, thickened skin or cracking.
This category includes gel heel insoles and products for home foot care. Gel insoles may contribute to softer support and more comfortable walking, while products for removing thickened skin may be part of a regular foot care and home pedicure routine.
Heel products do not replace properly selected footwear, professional examination or treatment when pronounced pain, swelling, wounds, deep cracks or walking problems are present. If discomfort keeps returning or worsens, it is important to check the cause of pain or pressure.

Pharmacist’s advice
Choose heel products according to the specific concern — a gel insole may be useful when additional softness and pressure relief are needed, while products for removing thickened skin should be used carefully and without aggressive filing. Do not use skin-removal products on wounds, deep cracks, bleeding, inflamed or infected skin. If heel pain persists, worsens, or swelling, redness, tingling or difficult walking appears, advice from a doctor, orthopedist, physiatrist or podiatrist is recommended. People with diabetes, poor circulation or reduced sensation in the feet should treat the heel area with special care. Ljubica Barbulović, Master of Pharmacy
