Make slightly loose or uncomfortable footwear feel more secure with these 2PCS Self-Adhesive Heel Grip Pads, designed to sit neatly inside the back of your shoes.

Ideal for shoes that feel slightly too big, these heel grips can help reduce slipping, rubbing and friction without changing the entire insole.

Why Choose These 2PCS Heel Grip Pads?
Helps Make Loose Shoes Fit Better
Shoes that are only slightly too large can allow the heel to move up and down while walking.
Adding a padded liner to the inside back of the shoe fills part of that extra space and may help create a closer fit.
This makes heel grips useful if:
- Your heel slips while walking
- One foot is slightly smaller than the other
- Shoes feel loose at the back
- You are between footwear sizes
- A new pair has more heel space than expected
UK foot-care products specifically market heel grips for slightly loose footwear and uneven shoe fit.
Helps Reduce Heel Slipping
The cushioned surface creates extra contact between the back of the shoe and your heel.
This may help reduce the lifting or sliding sensation experienced with loose-fitting footwear.
Reduced movement can also make shoes feel more stable during everyday walking.
Soft Cushioning Against Rubbing
Repeated friction between the heel and shoe lining can become uncomfortable.
A soft heel grip creates an extra padded layer between these two surfaces.
Similar UK heel liners are designed specifically to reduce friction and rubbing around the heel.
Simple Self-Adhesive Installation
There is no sewing, glue or specialist fitting required.
The pads are supplied with adhesive backing.
Simply:
- Clean the inside of the shoe.
- Allow it to dry.
- Peel away the backing.
- Position the heel pad.
- Press firmly into place.
Comparable UK heel pads use this same peel-and-stick installation method.
One Pair Included
Each pack contains 2 pieces, allowing one pad to be installed in each shoe.
You can also use a single pad if only one shoe feels loose.
Suitable for Different Shoe Types
Trainers
Useful for casual and everyday trainers where the heel lifts slightly during walking.
High Heels
Heel grips are commonly used in heels to reduce excess movement at the back of the shoe.
Flats
Suitable for many ballet pumps, loafers and flat shoes.
Boots
Can be used in selected boots where enough room is available.
Work Shoes
Useful where work footwear is slightly loose but otherwise fits correctly.
Casual Shoes
Suitable for many closed-back everyday shoes.
Current UK heel grip products are marketed for a broad range of footwear including heels, flats, boots, trainers and walking shoes.

How to Apply Heel Grip Pads
Step 1 – Clean the Shoe
Wipe the inside heel area to remove:
- Dust
- Dirt
- Loose fibres
- Moisture
- Grease
Step 2 – Allow the Surface to Dry
The shoe lining should be completely dry before fitting the adhesive pad.
Step 3 – Test the Position
Before removing the backing, place the heel grip inside the shoe and check where it feels most comfortable.
A current UK fitting guide specifically recommends testing placement before exposing the adhesive.
Step 4 – Remove the Adhesive Backing
Peel away the protective film carefully.
Try not to touch the sticky surface excessively.
Step 5 – Position the Pad
Place it against the inside back of the shoe.
Keep the pad centred around the area where your heel normally sits.
Step 6 – Press Firmly
Apply pressure across the entire surface, especially the edges.
Step 7 – Check Comfort
Put the shoe on and check that:
- The heel feels secure
- The pad does not fold
- There are no uncomfortable pressure points
- The shoe is not now excessively tight
Improve Fit Without Changing the Whole Insole
A full insole changes the fit across the entire foot.
A heel grip targets only the rear section of the shoe.
This can be useful when:
- Toe room is already correct
- The front of the shoe fits properly
- Only the heel area feels loose
Helps Protect Shoe Linings
In addition to cushioning the foot, a heel liner creates an extra layer between the heel and the original shoe fabric.
This may help reduce direct wear on the shoe lining caused by repeated rubbing.
Suitable for Everyday Use
Heel grips can be useful during:
- Walking
- Commuting
- Shopping
- Work
- Travel
- Social events
- Standing for extended periods
They should remain comfortable and securely positioned throughout use.
Can Heel Grips Help with Blisters?
Heel grips can help reduce the friction and movement that may contribute to rubbing and blister formation.
Current UK heel pads are marketed for reducing rubbing and helping prevent blisters caused by loose footwear.
However, they should not be described as a medical treatment for existing blisters.
Do not apply adhesive pads directly to broken skin.
What’s Included?
Each pack includes:
- 2 x Self-Adhesive Heel Grip Pads
Shoes, socks and other accessories shown in product photography are not included.
Care & Maintenance
To help the heel pads remain secure:
- Apply only to a clean and dry surface.
- Avoid repeatedly removing and repositioning them.
- Keep the inside of the shoe dry where possible.
- Check the edges periodically.
- Replace the pad if the adhesive becomes loose.
- Do not wash the pad unless the supplier specifically confirms it is washable.
Once removed, the adhesive may not bond as strongly a second time.
Safety Information
- Apply only inside suitable footwear.
- Do not stick directly onto skin.
- Do not use over blisters, cuts or broken skin.
- Stop use if irritation develops.
- Ensure the pad is positioned smoothly before walking.
- Remove or reposition if it creates painful pressure.
- Do not use excessively thick padding in already tight footwear.
- Check the adhesive regularly to ensure the pad has not folded or moved.
- Replace damaged or heavily worn heel grips.
- Keep backing films and small packaging parts away from children.
- People with diabetes, reduced foot sensation or circulatory problems should seek professional advice before using foot-care products.
Superdrug specifically advises people with diabetes or circulatory disorders to seek professional advice before using foot-care products.

Remove or reposition it.
The pad should improve comfort rather than create additional pressure.

Only cut your supplied version if the construction allows it.
Are heel grips suitable for badly oversized shoes?
They work best for footwear that is only slightly loose.
Shoes that are significantly too large may require a different size or a more substantial insole solution.
