Heel raise using a Fasciitis Fighter, with Stride Unpacked branding.

In use: heel-raise setup

Fasciitis Fighter

Recommended by Dan Broadhead

Dan uses it in clinic for a consistent, repeatable heel-raise setup. A rolled towel is an alternative; a fixed-height device will not suit every foot.

Dan bought the device himself. Read the review for suitability and limitations.

Injinji Trail Midweight Mini-Crew

Recommended by Anne Stewart

Anne’s first-choice brand for her long hill runs and ultramarathons. She enjoys the individual toe sleeves; her review explains the different models she uses.

Anne also stocks and sells both sock brands in her clinic. Neither brand paid her to promote them.

Feetures Elite Light Cushion Mini Crew

Recommended by Anne Stewart

Anne recommends Feetures for parkruns, shorter runs and hill walks. She particularly likes the close fit and the toe seam she barely notices.
