The Heel Pad

support@rtptennis.com

The RTP Heel Pad XC is no average or ordinary shoe insole. It will change the way you feel on the tennis court and beyond as it softens the shocks absorbed by your heels, ankles and knees while you run, stop, cut and stomp during the rigor of tennis.

Your enjoyment of tennis shouldn’t have negative lingering effects hours and days later. The Heel Pad XC can act as a shock absorber for your feet so that you don’t have to spend more time recovering away from the sport you love.

Created from Sorbothane, the same material used in our ShockSorbs, and one of the most absorbent polymers in the world, the Heel Pad XC doesn’t need to be thick or bulky to be effective.

Just a tenth of an inch thick – about the height of two pennies – the Heel Pad XC’s don’t add significant height, squishiness or bulk to the wearer’s shoes. The astonishingly thin insole is sticky on both sides and is intended to be worn beneath the full footbed insole originally included with your tennis shoes (or your favorite footwear).

Once installed the Heel Pad XC’s are sometimes undetectable, though the same cannot be said about the added comfort and protection to your lower body and joints.

This would make the perfect gift for the tennis player or athlete in your life that battles plantar fasciitis after playing, wears a knee brace to combat knee tension, tendonitis and general soreness.
