  • How our shoes deliver continuous heel pain relief

    The foundation of our heel pain solution begins with the c-sole™ orthotic insole system, engineered specifically for those who've experienced the frustration of ineffective footwear. This system combines anatomically-correct orthotic support with targeted cushioning zones that work in tandem to redistribute pressure away from sensitive heel areas. The zero-millimeter heel drop ensures your foot maintains a natural position, preventing the excessive heel stress common in traditional footwear that can aggravate existing conditions.

    Our c-base™ sole technology addresses the impact forces that typically intensify heel pain during daily activities. The hybrid construction utilizes lightweight EVA to absorb shock at the moment your heel strikes the ground, while the high-traction rubber components provide stability that prevents unnecessary foot movement. This is complemented by our seam-free interior lining that eliminates friction points that could create additional pressure on sensitive heels. The thoughtfully designed wide toebox accommodates natural foot swelling throughout the day without compromising the precise fit needed to maintain proper heel alignment – solving the common problem of shoes that feel supportive but become increasingly uncomfortable as the day progresses.

FAQs

  • These shoes are designed to help with plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles tendonitis, and general heel pain from standing or walking too much. They provide targeted support for conditions that cause stabbing pain in your heel, especially first thing in the morning or after long periods of activity. While they can't cure serious structural problems, they offer significant relief for most common heel pain issues that people experience daily.

  • The shoes work by providing extra cushioning in the heel area to absorb shock when your foot hits the ground, reducing the impact that causes pain. They also include built-in arch support that helps distribute your weight more evenly across your foot, taking pressure off the painful heel area. The combination of proper alignment and shock absorption allows the inflamed tissues in your heel to rest and heal while you go about your normal activities.

  • Unlike regular shoes that focus mainly on style or basic comfort, these shoes are specifically engineered with medical-grade features like contoured footbeds, extra heel padding, and structured arch support. They use specialized materials and design elements that target the root causes of heel pain rather than just providing general cushioning. Regular shoes often lack the proper support structure needed to address heel pain, which is why many people continue to suffer even in expensive athletic or comfort shoes.

  • These shoes specifically target the factors that cause heel pain to worsen throughout extended periods of standing and walking. The c-sole™ orthotic insole system provides the right support and cushioning in all the right places, even as your feet naturally swell throughout the day. The roomy toe area and flat design work together to keep pressure off your heels, which is why people who stand all day for work trust these shoes to keep them comfortable through entire shifts.

  • Yes! Oliver Cabell's orthopedic shoes are eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement when purchased to treat, mitigate, or prevent a diagnosed medical condition. You'll get more purchasing power since you're using pre-tax dollars instead of paying with after-tax income.
