"The Lanaora sleeve productizes the heel-lock taping technique I use in clinic. The integrated strap is designed to deload the calcaneal growth plate during activity. I now discuss it with parents before we consider orthotics."
UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
What Sever's Disease Actually Is
Sever's disease clinically known as calcaneal apophysitis is the most common cause of heel pain in growing children, typically appearing between ages 8 and 14 during periods of rapid growth.
The pain comes from repetitive traction where the Achilles tendon attaches to the still-developing heel bone. High-impact sport aggravates it, which is why active, athletic children are most affected.
Heel-Lock Support for Sever's Disease, Growth Plate & Achilles Pain
Most Solutions Treat the Symptom, Not the Cause
Each common approach has a meaningful limitation for an active child who wants to keep playing.
Generic Heel Cups
Often too bulky to fit inside cleats. Designed for adults, not a growing foot
Daily Taping
Time-consuming before every session. Loosens mid-activity and is hard to reapply
Beyond the discomfort, the lasting cost is missed seasons, lost confidence, and a child who begins to doubt whether their body can keep up.A considered solution addresses the cause while keeping them active.
Three Steps, Under a Minute
Designed to fit into a child's routine: simple to apply, easy to adjust, and built for movement.
Slide & Position
Pull the sleeve over the foot and position the arch panel just below the heel bone.
Lock The Heel Strap
Wrap the heel-lock strap around the back of the heel and secure it to the opposite anchor point.
Into The Cleat & Play
Slide the foot into cleats, basketball shoes, or trainers and move comfortably with support.

We tracked his pain daily. By the end of the first week the morning stiffness had clearly eased and he was able to train without stopping. The strap design is genuinely thoughtful.

My main worry was bulk inside his cleats. It genuinely disappears once the shoe is on. No rubbing, no pressure points, and she forgets she's wearing it.

Sizing guidance was correct and the build quality is better than expected for the price. Took a few days to feel the benefit, but it has held up well through a full season.

Your Questions Answered
Everything you need to know before ordering.
Is this specifically for Sever's disease?
+
Yes. The sleeve was designed around calcaneal apophysitis (Sever's disease), the most common cause of heel pain in youth athletes. The heel-lock strap is intended to address the traction mechanism behind the pain. It is a supportive product and not a substitute for medical care.
What ages is it designed for?
+
It is sized for youth athletes ages 8–16, mapped to pediatric foot morphology rather than an adult sleeve scaled down. Please refer to the size chart to find the right fit.
Will it fit inside cleats?
+
Yes. The slim-profile design was developed to fit inside cleats, court shoes and trainers without a size change or pressure points.
Can my child wear it during sport?
+
Yes. It is designed for active use and intended to support the heel during running, cutting and jumping without restricting movement.
How do I care for it?
+
Hand wash with mild soap and air dry. Avoid machine drying to preserve the material's stretch and the heel-lock tension.
What is your return policy?
+
Every order is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the fit or feel isn't right, contact us within 30 days for a full refund or exchange.
