A heel cup (44) permits the user to custom fit each foot to various shaped footwear, using adjustable bottom wall and side wall cushions (76, 246), thereby providing optimum comfort and safety whether simply walking or during vigorous sports activity. The heel cup includes bottom, side and heel portions (72, 74), an attachment mechanism secured at least to one of the portions, and an insole (54, 78) secured to a hook and loop attachment mechanism for supporting the foot. A complete adjustable insole is together used with an adjustable sidewall cushioning because it is difficult to reach into the interiors of footwear to make adjustments, such as installing moving or removing a cushion to obtain necessary comfort. Attachments for the insole may comprise tabs (158, 172, 188) to which the insole can be secured. A heel grip bracket (420) with a cushion (422) may be mounted on the heel portion of the bracket and one or more cushions (438) may be coupled to cushion (422) on its sides. |
