- I wouldn't recommend heel cups at all. You may find they work for awhile
- but they are just too unstable. You are much better off with orthodics.
- You probably have more than an unstable heel counter and the orthodics
- will assist greatly.
-
- Based on your address I know of a person who makes very good orthodics
- if you wish to see if they would help. If so please contact me via
- netmail.
