The Sorbothane Heel Pads provide shock absorption at the heel, where most impact occurs. Ideal for use in everyday life as as well light sporting activities such as golf, the heel pads offer are positioned at the point of maximum stride impact, protecting the heel from harmful shockwaves every time the foot impacts the ground. The pads absorb 94% of vibrations on impact and disperse them laterally rather than up and through the body. This helps protect joints such as the knees and ankles.

Along with protecting the joints and offering supreme comfort for the feet, the Sorbothane Heel Pads include an antibacterial top sheet which helps prevent odours from forming within the shoes.
