ROOT MODEL: P6
Heel Spur
Precision-engineered to offload the calcaneal spur, distribute plantar pressure, and reduce heel pain — custom congruent to every patient.
BIOMECHANICS
Designed to offload the spur. Protect the heel.
A horseshoe-shaped 3mm heel spur pad offloads the bony protuberance on the plantar surface of the calcaneus more effectively than traditional cushioning. Combined with a heel punch in the polypropylene frame, pressure is redistributed away from the spur across the rest of the foot. Fabricated from a positive model of the patient's foot, the P6 minimizes mechanical stress at the point of greatest pain while maintaining full function throughout gait.
FRAME MATERIAL
Polypropylene
Rigidity is selected per patient weight — so the shell provides consistent pressure redistribution away from the spur for that specific patient's load demands.
REARFOOT POST
55–65 Shore A EVA
Extrinsic crepe post balanced forefoot to rearfoot — built into the positive model of the patient's foot. Provides rearfoot control while the heel pad manages spur offloading above.
HEEL CUP DEPTH
18mm
Cast directly from the patient's calcaneus — the deep cup captures their heel precisely, positioning the horseshoe pad exactly where the spur requires offloading.
TOP COVER
.75mm Protex
Trimmed to the patient's toe line, so contact and pressure distribution match their exact foot geometry.
BOTTOM COVER
.6mm Suede
Selected for shoe compatibility — keeps the device stable inside the shoe while the custom shell delivers lateral control above.
EXTENSION
1.5mm Myolite
Full-length cushioning that absorbs plantar impact without compromising the targeted heel offloading the device is designed to deliver.
PADDING
3mm Heel Spur Pad
Horseshoe-shaped and positioned to the patient's spur location — offloads the calcaneal protuberance directly, not generically.

MEDICAL CONDITION
Heel Spur
A heel spur is a bony calcium deposit that forms on the plantar surface of the calcaneus — typically at the attachment of the plantar fascia or Achilles tendon. On its own, a spur is not always painful. When inflammation develops around the protuberance, every step concentrates load directly onto the deposit, producing acute, localized heel pain that worsens with activity.
When the Spur Becomes the Problem
Heel spurs develop gradually in response to chronic mechanical stress — repetitive pulling of the plantar fascia or Achilles tendon at its calcaneal insertion. The body lays down calcium to reinforce the attachment, and over time the deposit grows. When the surrounding soft tissue becomes inflamed, the spur transitions from an incidental finding to the primary source of pain.

Heel Spur Syndrome — Inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding a calcaneal spur. Presents as sharp, localized heel pain — worst with the first steps of the morning or after periods of rest, easing with movement then returning with prolonged activity.
Plantar Fasciitis with Heel Spur — Inflammation of the plantar fascia frequently co-exists with calcaneal spur formation at the fascial insertion. The spur amplifies mechanical irritation at the attachment site, intensifying symptoms and slowing recovery.
Insertional Heel Spur — Spur formation at the posterior calcaneus at the Achilles insertion. Associated with insertional Achilles tendinopathy and retrocalcaneal bursitis — often requiring combined offloading and heel lift intervention.
Diagnosis
Clinical assessment includes palpation of the plantar heel to localize pain and identify the point of maximum tenderness. X-ray confirms the presence and size of the calcaneal spur. Ultrasound and MRI are used to assess the degree of soft tissue inflammation and plantar fascia involvement when conservative treatment planning requires a clearer picture.
Treatment Pathway
First-line treatment includes orthotics, NSAIDs, rest, ice, and stretching of the plantar fascia and calf. Custom orthotics are most effective when introduced early — offloading the spur before chronic inflammation becomes resistant to conservative care.
If little progress is seen at 2–3 months, corticosteroid injection or extracorporeal shockwave therapy is indicated. Surgical spur resection becomes a consideration after 6 months without meaningful recovery.
The P6 is designed to be part of the first-line response — offloading the calcaneal spur from the first step, reducing inflammation while the tissue heals.

The right device
for the right diagnosis.
P6 is indicated for inflamed heel spur syndrome, calcaneal spur pathology, and plantar fasciitis with significant heel involvement. Prescribe with confidence across these conditions.
