The science
Why your heel hurts. And how we fix it.
The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that carries your entire bodyweight, step after step. When it's overloaded, micro-tears and inflammation follow. Compression changes the equation.
The arch band: 30 mmHg
The highest compression sits directly under the plantar fascia, lifting the arch and reducing strain on the tissue with every step. It's like supportive taping that never peels off.
The heel cradle: 25 mmHg
A cushioned zone stabilises the heel's natural fat pad, spreading impact away from the fascia's insertion point, the exact spot that screams in the morning.
The ankle cuff: 20 mmHg
The gentlest pressure sits highest, encouraging circulation back up the leg. Better blood flow means less swelling and faster tissue recovery overnight.

Uniform compression squeezes everything equally, which helps nothing. HEEL. is knitted with three distinct pressure zones that step down from the arch to the cuff.

Questions
Asked & answered.
Most wearers feel supported immediately and notice easier mornings within one to two weeks of consistent daily wear. Plantar fasciitis built up over months, so give recovery a fair fortnight.
Yes. It's comfortable enough for overnight wear, and many wearers do exactly that to tame morning pain. If you have circulation issues, check with your doctor first.
The knit is thin enough to wear under socks and inside any shoe: runners, boots, heels, the lot. It can also be worn alone around the house with its grippy sole zone.
No. HEEL. is a support tool, not a medical device. It pairs brilliantly with stretching, strengthening and professional care. If pain is severe or persistent, see a podiatrist.
Then it costs you nothing. Every order comes with a 30-day relief trial. Wear it properly, and if your mornings aren't easier, return it for a full refund. We cover the postage.
