Susan Bott: I have multiple sclerosis and wake up through the night with sore burning heels due to pressure and friction while lying in bed. This boot is the only product I have found that allows my heel to float on air and is comfortable enough to sleep with. very pleased with it!

Marisa Meier: My Dad’s vascular surgeon chose this from Amazon and said it was a great price with fastest shipping. It’s helped Dad’s ankle wound heal much quicker. The boot is soft, warm, comfortable and well made.

Mc Lovin: This heel protector is excellent! The material is so soft and the boot is well made. It has a gel pack that can be inserted as well but I found it isn't really needed in my case. The gel pack can be chilled in the fridge or warmed (I believe) if you prefer. I looked at different heel protective cushioning boots for hours and I am very happy I chose this one. Buying from Amazon prime is great when it comes to items like these because many companies won't take a return if the plastic bag has been opened but ,in my previous experiences, Amazon does. How would you know if a item worked for you if you didn't remove it from the bag? Just something to consider.

cookie cutter: My mother is in AL and needs these to prevent heel sores. The hospital had provided her with inflatable boots that kept getting holes near the seams that we'd repair with sealant, but what a pain that was. After a couple of months they were no longer fixable so I looked to replace them.

It especially annoyed me that the boots kept needing repair because my mother can no longer walk. She is either in a wheelchair or bed, so the boots had virtually no stress on them.

The inflatable ones were ridiculously expensive (a little over $50 per boot), particularly considering how poorly they wore. These, however, have suited our purposes perfectly. I delayed reviewing these heel protectors because I wanted to see how they would wear. I'm happy to report that she finds them comfortable and they have remained in perfect condition.

Great product at a great price.

Dandy: My Dad got a bed sore on his heel. We would just put this on at night and treat the sore during the day. I have used heel protectors as a Nurse in the hospitals. This one from Skil Care is the best I have ever seen. Soft, cushy, a hole in the heel where airflow can go, there is even a gel pack you can put in the fridge and replace for cool comfort. You can see it in the picture above the model's heel. It's also washable. Top quality. No regrets buying it. And, if need be for the other foot, I will definitely buy another from this company.

franchesca2bqq: So being the amazing ICU nurse in the world hahahahahah just kidding I have had the fortune to work with some very amazing nurses so I may not be the best but I am crazy about Tequila Mama!!! I decided to do some prevention and a very common place to develop a pressure/bed sores is under the heel because your focusing on their butt and forget the heels. I put these on at bed time turn, her on her side, a kiss good night and no bedsores.

I love these boots! Very well made- excellent material. It is not water proof so be careful . Also they run small. I bought the medium and T-Mama is 4'7" of little might with little feet size 5!!! ! Also this is for one boot, so you will have to make sure to order 2.
