Frequently asked questions
SpurFix — what you need to know
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about this product.
What is the difference between ErgoSole and SpurFix?
The ErgoSole is a general medical insole for heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. The SpurFix has an even deeper heel cup (9mm) and a separate gel insert specifically for the heel area — intended for people with persistent or severe heel spur complaints.
Does SpurFix work for chronic heel spur?
Yes, designed precisely for that. The combination of a deep heel cup and anti-shock pad relieves the heel bone and allows the tissue to recover. Expect a noticeable reduction within 2–4 weeks, and usually stabilization after 2 months.
Can I combine physiotherapy and SpurFix?
Highly recommended. Physio focuses on flexibility and muscles around the foot; SpurFix provides structural relief with every step. Together, they work faster than separately.
In which shoes does SpurFix work best?
In shoes with sufficient depth and a firm heel counter: sneakers, hiking boots, work shoes. Avoid very flat slip-on shoes — these do not provide enough support for the heel cup.
How long to wear each day?
Build up use as with any new insole: approximately 2 hours on day 1, then one hour longer each time. From day 7–10, you can wear them all day.
What if it feels uncomfortable for the first few days?
A little pressure on the arch or heel is normal—your plantar fascia is just getting used to a different use. Reduce the wear time by a few hours and build up more slowly. Persistent pain after a week is a sign to consult a podiatrist.
