A heel protector for use when operating vehicles comprising a pad having an envelope including at least an upper and a lower panel of flexible material sealed about their peripheral edge portions; the bottom panel being of relatively soft, high friction material; the upper panel being of relatively soft, low friction material; a layer of flexible shape-retaining material disposed within said envelope; and a layer of contour forming granular material disposed within said envelope.
A multi-purpose textured pad. There is: a first flexible planar member, second flexible planar member; a first compressible padding material; a second compressible padding material; an array of elongated texture devices disposed in a layer above the top surface of the first flexible planar member, each including: a plurality of elongated texture members, an elongated base member and a plurality of flexible strips; and two pairs of fastening mechanisms. The second flexible planar member is coupled to the first flexible planar member at a plurality of edges. The first compressible padding material supports a user. The second compressible padding material generates an audible sound when compressed. The base member extends along the first flexible planar member. The elongated texture devices provide density and thickness to a top surface of the first flexible planar member. The fastening mechanisms secure the planar members in a folded mode.
