ABOUT
A heel spur pad is a horseshoe-shaped Myolite padding on the superior surface of an orthotic’s heel cup area and terminates just distal to the calcaneal tubercles.
It possesses a parabolic wedge cutout of its padding that borders the plantar calcaneal tuberosity. Its outer edges are blended into the heel cup walls, but the inside edges along the parabolic cutout remains unskived.
