Pedag T-Form | German Made | Metatarsal Foot Pads for Pain Relief | Anatomically Correct | Vegetable Tan Leather | Self Adhesive | White | Size X-Large, Fits US Men 11-13 | 1 Pair

I never knew I needed this, but I'm glad my chiropractor suggested it. My feet feel so much better. The size was perfect and easy to install in my shoe. I will be buying more of these.

**UPDATE** These things are amazing if you’re suffering from plantar fasciitis. Wear them with a foot shaped or wide toe box shoes! SuperbI’m using these pads to allow my feet to strengthen and heal my plantar fasciitis according to the conservative care treatment recommendations of Dr. Ray McClanahan. They felt so funky at first but I really believe they are helping along with wide toe box zero drop shoes, foot spacers, massage, strengthening, etc. I’ve had PF for 11 months, but have only been implementing the above over the last 4 months. In the past my feet would start to feel better but then I’d do too much activity and I’d have to pull back for a day or two. Let me tell you, these pads really help. I walked/hiked 24 miles over 4 days last weekend and while I had some pain due to increased movement, I recovered much quicker and barely had any pain the next morning. If you know, you know that’s HUGE and a sign of major improvement. Good luck!

I use both Pedag T-Form and Pedag Drop (1) functions with footwear that has removable insole (2) can be installed / positioned above or below the footwear insole, dependent on user preference (3) I use a self-tailored fastener (cut, trimmed, and rolled, adhesive side out) piece of duct-tape, under the Pad, to temporarily position and secure the Pad. ( 3a) Tip / Top of Metatarsal Pad should extend marginally above the geometric plane at the base of the big-toe metatarsal capsule, extending horizontally across the ball of foot. Shouldn't be behind, and not directly under the metatarsal capsule (4) Once satisfied with the location of the Pad, I outline the position with magic marker, then I remove the tailored duct-tape fastener, and then I apply duct-tape over the Pedag metatarsal pad, to ensure it remains in desired position (5) effective aid to relieve pain associated with metatarsalgia (5) I developed metatarsalgia (second toe ) and upon installing the pad, experienced immediate relief, and resumed hiking and walking the dogs. (6) But, the Pad isn't a panacea - metatarsalgia can require reduced stress on foot, i.e., reduced activity ( I terminated jogging for 3 months ) - (7) the use of a metatarsal pad and insole with proper arch support, worn a majority of the day. (7) I placed in all my footwear (8) I installed it in a pair of old jogging shoes that i washed and cleaned, to be worn exclusively in the house ( I don't wear footwear in the house, but for this one exception ) (9) I purchased Pedag insoles - with built in metatarsal pads - for other footwear, to obviate the need to constantly remove insoles with metatarsal pads from one pair of footwear and insert in a different pair. I like the Viva Sport as it fits in both jogging footwear and casual footwear. I also use the Viva Outdoor in my hiking Boots. (10) Pedag T-Form was more comfortable for my feet than the Pedag Drop, ( but my feet adjusted and I use both pads effectively ) Seeking professional medical care is recommended, as the first response to any medical issue; in context to this review - a licensed , Podiatrist, and / or a Primary Care Physician.

Help my husbands feet feel better.

They help my feet. I can walk with out pain on my big toe.

After wasting my time on store-bought pads recommended by my doctor I finally found a product with enough gel padding to actually make a difference. My body-worker explained how it needed to be adjusted on my foot. The adhesive is perfect for keeping it in place but sticky enough to allow me to readjust it several times before finding the perfect spot. I recommend these pads for anyone with toe pain or stinging. They need to be applied directly behind the bulging toe pad on the bottom of your foot and not on the pad itself.

These pads were too large for my womens size 8 1/2 feet.

I've got Neuropathy in both feet but still want to use sandals. I was born and live in San Diego and have always used Reef Sandals after work as well as at the beach. Since I have orthotics for my boots and dress shoes, I wondered if I could use the same idea with sandals. Yes there are special sandals you can purchase that cost a fortune, but being kind of a "I don't know if I can do something until I have tried and failed" kind of guy, I decided to tackle this.First I use the best padded Reef Sandal I could find. Amazon has a good supply of Reef Sandals you can choose from.. I can personally attest to the Reef Men's Fanning Sandal that is plenty cushy. I wore them for a few days before placing the pad and felt somewhat OK with them but I still had about 50% burning pain. I then purchased the metatarsal pads after reading other good reviews on Amazon. Before peeling the protector paper off the pad I placed them under the foot comparing the instructions first. Actually you want to pay particular attention to the instructions because it will get you about 75% of the way.Now for the fine tuning! It is most important is that you get the pad placed so to apply weight on the foot, you cause your toes to go down thus moving the weight to your toes. Bata Bing! Your done.I was a bit skeptical about the use of a leather product on a sandal but they have proved themselves way beyond my expectations. So far, they have lasted several months without coming unglued, delaminating or even moving on the sandal. This is wonderful because they were used while power washing my vehicles, patios and gardening work. After all of that water, they look as good now as they did new. Since then, i have placed them on two other Reef Sandals of different colors for a change with all working well!I am still enjoying my "foot freedom" after work changing into the sandals with no negative issues. I breathe a sigh of "foot relief" that at least for now, I can still enjoy the out doors with my sandals. For the price and quality I would rate these a five star with my thanks and appreciation.
