How to use HeelUPs™
Use this product as advised by your healthcare practitioner. Be sure to keep all your healthcare practitioner's appointments so that your progress can be checked.
HeelUPs™ need to be worn in good footwear (closed shoe style - with laces and a firm heel counter) that is not excessively worn. Where possible, remove the midsole from footwear prior to fitting the HeelUPs™ to maximise fit and minimise heel slippage.
It will take 3 to 7 days for you to get used to HeelUps™, but they should not cause any pain. Start by wearing your HeelUPs™ a few hours each day, gradually increasing your wear time. Do not use your HeelUPs™ for lengthy activities or sport until advised by your healthcare practitioner.
Notify your healthcare practitioner promptly if you experience any discomfort, pain or injury whilst using HeelUPs™.
Adjusting the height of the HeelUPs™
The height of the heel lift can be adjusted. Each layer is 5 mm in height at the heel. Using layer 1 only creates a 5 mm heel lift, combining layers 1 + 2 creates a 10 mm heel lift, and combining layers 1 + 2 + 3 creates a 15 mm heel lift.
Wedge pieces
The wedge pieces can be attached (as shown below) to the underside of the HeelUPs™ layers (layers 1, 2 or 3) to create a varus/supinated or valgus/pronated position of the heel.
