Heel Up Fix Medium is inflatable and covered with nonwoven felt, which is a skin-friendly material that is moisture-absorbing, heat-transporting, soft and comfortable. In addition to relieving the heel, the heel lifter ensures that the Achilles tendon and malleoli (bony prominences at the ankles) are relieved. It supports the forefoot and prevents drop foot.
