The Flamingo Heel Cushion is an orthopaedic foot support designed to provide cushioning and help reduce pressure on the heel during everyday activities. It is intended for people who experience heel discomfort associated with conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs and bruised heels, as well as people who spend extended periods standing or walking. Flamingo identifies the product as a moderate-support, universal-size heel cushion.

Its shock-absorbing construction helps cushion the heel against repetitive impact from walking and standing. The design can be transferred between different types of footwear, making it practical for everyday use rather than being limited to one pair of shoes. Flamingo specifically states that the cushion can be used in multiple shoes.

The current MedIN listing offers Male and Female variants. When choosing the product, users should select the appropriate variant and make sure the cushion sits correctly beneath the heel without making the footwear excessively tight.
