Varus / valgus heel wedges can be used to reduce pronation and supination by angling the calcaneus (heel bone) either medially or laterally and when standing, walking or running. These heel wedges are very durable and provide either 6 or 9 degrees of correction In uncompensated rearfoot varus (A), the calcaneus (and forefoot) are inverted when the subtalar joint is neutral. The person compensates (B) by pronating STJ to allow medial heel to touch the ground. Compensation retards supination during midstance/terminal stance.

Another common form of varus deformity is the talipes varus, which occurs in the ankle. A varus deformity will likely require surgery. Valgus alignment was seen in 24% and varus in 76%. In addition, valgus deformity has been noted to be more common in females, patients with inflammatory arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, and those with metabolic abnormalities such as rickets or renal osteodystrophy. Our heel wedges are available in 3 degree,6 degree, and 9 degree variations. Lateral / Medial (Varus/valgus) heel wedges are intended to reduce pronation and supination. This can be related to lower-extremity misalignment which can result in painful knees as well as ankles and feet.
