Product details
Targeted Relief and Correction for Misaligned Heels
If your heels angle outward due to bandy legs (varus alignment) or inward due to knock knees (valgus alignment), the edges of your heels can become particularly painful. The Bauerfeind ViscoHeel K is a viscoelastic heel cushion specifically designed to provide effective padding while gently straightening the heel alignment.
By correcting your stance, this premium heel wedge provides immediate relief with every step, reducing strain from your foot all the way up to your lower spine, and helping prevent the development of osteoarthritis in your joints.
- Corrects Posture and Alignment: The raised lateral edge can be placed on the inside or outside of the shoe to counteract pronation (rolling inward) or supination (rolling outward).
- Absorbs Shock and Reduces Pain: Viscoelastic silicone absorbs impact, reducing pressure peaks on the ankle, knee, hip, and spine.
- Durable and Skin-Friendly: Made in Germany from high-quality, non-slip silicone that will not bottom out or lose its shape. Easy to clean with soap and water.
- Versatile Fit: The anatomically contoured design fits securely in almost any closed shoe for leisure, sports, or work.
- Varus alignment of the heel (bow legs / supination)
- Valgus alignment of the heel (knock-knees / pronation)
- Conditions requiring realignment of the heel or knee to relieve joint strain
- Size 1: Children
- Size 2: Womens 5-9 | Mens 3.5-7.5
- Size 3: Womens 9.5-14 | Mens 8-12.5
Sold as a pair. No definite left or right - the raised wedge can be placed medially or laterally depending on the required treatment.

Between two sizes? Take the smaller one - a support needs to sit snug to give you the compression that does the work.

Common questions
The things people ask us most before ordering.
What happens if I order the wrong size?
Send it back within 30 days for a full refund, or email orders@jointoperations.co.uk and we'll swap it for the right size.
Measuring before you order is the quickest route - the size finder on this page turns two tape-measure numbers into a size in about twenty seconds.
Can I wear it under clothing?
Yes. The knit is low-profile and designed to sit under trousers, leggings or a tracksuit without bunching. Most people wear it all day without anyone noticing.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with any fasteners closed. No fabric softener and no tumble drying - dry it flat, away from direct heat.
Washing it regularly actually helps: it lifts the body oils out of the knit and the compression holds its shape for longer.
How long should I wear it for?
Most people wear a support during activity and take it off to sleep. If a clinician recommended it to you, follow their guidance - they'll have a plan for your particular situation.
If you've bought it yourself for ongoing pain and you're not sure, it's worth getting the underlying problem looked at rather than relying on the support alone.
When will it arrive?
Standard delivery takes 3-4 working days and is free on orders over £95. Order before 12:30pm Monday to Thursday for next-day delivery.
Orders placed before 12:30pm on a working day are dispatched the same day; after the cut-off, or at the weekend, they go out on the next working day.
Can I claim it back on insurance or through work?
Some private health policies and occupational health schemes cover orthopaedic supports when they've been recommended by a clinician. We can send an itemised VAT invoice for your claim - just email us with your order number.
Can I buy wholesale for my clinic or shop?
Yes. We're the UK distributor for Bauerfeind, and we supply retailers, clinics, pharmacies and physiotherapy practices directly. Send us a trade enquiry and we'll come back with pricing and account terms.
