HERA was founded by Inbar Vinarsky, a 6'2" middle blocker who captained Israel's national team, played the European Championship and Olympic qualifiers under Arie Selinger, the coach who led the U.S. Women's National Team to its first Olympic medal, and then came to the NCAA to play Division I volleyball at the University of San Francisco.
Thousands of dives and landings later, she knew exactly what was missing: gear that was actually made for a woman's body. So she built it, and tested every pad and sock with elite players before it ever reached a store.
"I spent years diving on hardwood in gear that was made for someone else's body. Every girl who steps on the court deserves to feel protected, confident and completely herself. That's why HERA exists." Inbar Vinarsky · Founder, HERA
Her body moves differently.
She lands differently.
Most volleyball knee pads start with a man's knee and simply get sized down. A woman's knee sits at a different angle, her leg has a different shape, and she lands from a jump in her own way. When the pad doesn't fit, it slides, pinches and rubs, and too often it ends up in the bag instead of on her knees.
HERA starts with her. Every curve, seam and layer of foam is designed around the female athlete, from her first dive at age 5 to her senior night.
Engineered to protect her. Designed to disappear.
Three systems working together, so she plays every point without thinking about her knees.
Impact Protection System
- High-density, gel-like foam core absorbs every dive
- 3D coverage across the front and sides of the knee
- Multi-layer padding without the bulky look
Comfort That Lasts All Weekend
- Soft, breathable elastic-cotton blend
- Smooth inner lining: no rashes, no red marks
- Stays cool and dry through back-to-back matches
A True Female Fit
- Anatomical cut that follows the curve of her knee
- Stays locked in place through jumps, dives and lateral moves
- Real sizing from Youth XS to Adult XL
Choose her level of protection.
Three performance levels for every stage of her game, from first dives to elite impact protection.
Extra Cushion Premium
Best for liberos, DS & hard hittersExtra-thick dual cushioning for players who dive hard and land harder. Our most protective pad, with full front and side coverage.
Volleyball Pro
Best for competitive club & high schoolNot too thick, not too thin. The ideal balance of protection and flexibility, with high-density foam and an ergonomic fit that stays put.
Extra Pro Light Premium
Best for ages 5–13 & beginnersLightweight, flexible padding with full freedom of movement. Confidence-building protection for her first dives, without the bulk.
The only volleyball sock engineered for female athletes.
The tall-sock look owns the court. Wear them pulled high or scrunched low. Ours are built to perform from first serve to final point, and designed for the female leg, not a men's sock made smaller.
