Achilles & Back-of-Heel Pain
Skates and stiff heel counters rub the back of the heel. Over time that can form a painful bump (often called a Bauer bump, pump bump or Haglund’s deformity). The Bunga Achilles’ Healpad puts gel right where the boot rubs.

What causes it
- A stiff heel counter in skates or shoes
- Heel slipping up and down inside the boot
- Growing feet in youth hockey and figure skating
- Long practices and games
How Bunga Pads help
The Achilles’ Healpad is a gel-lined sleeve with cushioning over the back of the heel and Achilles area. It reduces rubbing and spreads pressure inside tight skates.
Tips for the best fit
- Make sure skates are laced snugly so the heel doesn’t slip.
- Wear the healpad against the skin with the gel over the bump.
- See a professional if a bump is red, swollen or very painful.
