Indeed they are. Which is absurd. My previous travel shoes (no metal shanks) have small bits of gel padding in the heel. I guess I have to find new travel shoes.
I feel especially bad for those people who need gel inserts to avoid pain.
Since many sneakers have gel elements built into the shoe itself (not removable), what's their status?
