ABSTRACT:
A heel cup of molded rubber or noncompressible resilient, flexible plastic, has a relatively thin sole extending from a heel towards the arch of a user when fitted beneath the user's heel. The rear portion of the sole and opposite side portions thereof are curved upwardly forming a thickened arcuate reinforced heel support configured to the user's heel. A horseshoe shaped rim integral with the sole and the heel support projects below the bottom surface of the sole. A plurality of laterally and longitudinally closely spaced pegs integral with the sole project outwardly of the bottom surface at right angles and are of decreasing vertical height from the integral rim to the front portion of the sole. The pegs have a vertical height in excess of that of the rim in the area of the rim. The pegs affect a first wave-like action of gentle pressure and massage to the soft tissue of the heel from the back to the front of the heel during ambulation of the user.
