Metatarsal Pads Ball of Foot Cushions - Metatarsal Pads for Women and Men - Soft Gel Foot Pads Metatarsal Foot Forefoot Cushioning Foot Pain Relief - 2 Pairs

(Updated) A month after the ball of my right foot started hurting from standing/walking all day at work, I looked for a solution and found these. I put the pads on and they really did help with the pain! I'd wear them to work all day and noticed it wasn't as bad when it was over. Didn't fix the problem but it helps. Now, after 2 months of COVID quarantine, I gave my feet a break and my metatarsal pain went away. I went back to work and I still wear these as a preventative measure. Hopefully I stay pain-free. I initially gave these 4 stars because I can still kind of feel it wrapped SLIGHTLY uncomfortably around my toe. But honestly, it's not that big of a difference. I don't even notice it unless I think about it. So I'll give it 5 stars. They deserve it. The company owner is also very responsive. Instructions said to apply powder after washing, so I asked the owner what kind and he said baby powder. I don't have any so I just put the pads on as is. I'm not concerned about adhesion because I put socks over them. They do slide around a bit and maybe it's because I don't use the powder? But either way, there's not that many places it can slide to when it's strapped to your toe. Haven't yet tried them without socks though, and probably never will anyway. These are also very easily washable in the sink. It's the first thing I do when I get home. This a very decent product, and I say try these pads if you have pain on the ball of your foot!

Update: I’m lowering my initial 5 star review to 4 stars for the following reason; one downfall of this soft, very cushy metatarsal pad is, because it’s so flexible, the “toe loop” stretches, thus allowing the pad that is to assist with cushioning the ball of the foot to be pulled by my sock/s and move from the area. I still feel this product is helping with the pain in the ball of my feet, and toes on my right foot. Again, it’s very cushy.....I just wish there was a way to keep the “toe loop” from stretching out so much. I have pain in the ball of my foot and in my two last toes. Even though I constantly stretch my feet, and gets massages and acupuncture, the pain remains. I purchased these foot cushions, and honestly I have felt some relief. I've only had them a couple of days, so I can't provide long term information, but I would say, if you have any type of pain in the toe and/or ball region of your foot, definitely give these a try. I did not utilize the arch support included, as they must be attached to the shoe, and since I wear numerous shoes for various reasons, I felt the adhesion would become less "sticky".

If I could rate these cushions less than one star, I would! These are a complete waste of money! You can’t even pull a sock over them when they’re in place because they bunch up and curl up and totally leave the position they are meant to be in, that is, protecting the callous that’s giving you problems in the metatarsal area. Plus once you reach in your sock and get them uncurled and laid flat in the right position, they then totally stretch out of position in the course of walking on them for a couple of hours. Don’t waste your money! Buy ones that are made of fabric, not this sticky gooey gel! These

The pad under the foot is difficult to get situated under your sock. However, worse part is the ring is too small that goes around the toe. After a short while it feels like its cutting into thw toe. Leaves a big indentation mark. My toes are not plump either. I tried leaving ring stretched over a much bigger item, but it didn’t seem to make it any larger.

These work great. Would definitely buy again. I have pulled ligaments in my toe and was having to tape my toe down and putting cushion pads in my shoes and they would shred and my foot would be sticky. My foot doctor said I could order some online. I can wash these with soap and reuse.

The cushions were comfortable but the toe loop broke after 3 weeks. I actually bought these twice hoping it wouldn't happen again. But it did.

This gel pad really provides softness for the ball of a foot with a neuroma. Mine is quite swollen so it feels like I'm walking with something like a lump in ball of my shoe. I haven't been able to wear my normal 1.5" heels even though they aren't very high. The toe loop on this pad helps to keep the soft gel pad in place although it can slip around in looser shoes. It doesn't bother me at all. I also ordered this brand's style that goes around the whole foot and it stays in place better. But you see it in sandal style shoes so I'm using both versions depending on what shoes I'm wearing. I compared these gel pads to Walkize pads, but those weren't nearly soft enough. I also had a hard time palcing the Walkize pads so that their ridge didn't bother my toes. These pads are easy to wash, easy to wear, and you dont' have to worry about adhesive. They provide real relief from the pain of neuromas! I'm hoping if I wear them for a few months, the inflamed nerve will go down so I won't have to wear them forever. I may be back to review them further in 6 months or so!

I am 5’, 117 lbs, my shoe size is 5.5 W, and these fit exactly as shown in the picture. Contrary to most reviews, they did not slide around, not sure how that would even be possible. I even wore them with my Birks and they stayed in place. They are fairly thin, however I am wearing them with shoe insoles or with orthopedic slippers, and I can definitely feel the extra support. I’m also wearing them with toe separators, in order to correct Capsulitis of the second toe. It’s been 5 days since I began wearing all this, and the pain has subsided significantly. Today I was walking slow, but I was not limping compared to 5 days ago.

Solette messe 1 volta per andare a camminare circa 16 km torno a casa e mi trovo ora in queste condizioni. Premetto che strada facendo mi sono dovuta fermare più volte perchè mi stavano dando dolore Ho praticamente buttato 11 euro per non parlare del dolore. Non le acquiste non sono idonee come dicono nella descrizione

Muy comodas. Justo lo que necesitaba

It was so bad and l dont recommend someone to buy it coz it's a waste of money

Poca protección.

The negative is that they move out of place as soon as you put on socks, and they move even more when you add shoes. Needs more toe connectors to keep in place better.
