Dr. Scholl’s Pain Relief Orthotics for Ball of Foot Pain, 1 Pair - One size fits all

After a few days of struggling with walking the golf course, this item did the trick. I had sever pain in the ball of my foot, and had done multiple searches on what I would need to help correct that. After finding these, and reading all of the reviews and advice, I pulled the trigger. I am very happy I did. Yes, the "adhesive" doesn't work. At all. However, I don't think that it is meant to. You got them in the proper place, and they stay there just fine. Its a little work, and, if you want them to be in the permanent spot, then use super glue.

They help with my Mortons Neuroma, they make the ball of my foot hurt less. They do not stay in. If you get it in the correct position when you put on your shoes you'll be good, but they'll come out again when you take your shoes off.

I play pickleball and recently my feet have been acting up and I occasionally get pain. I started using these pads in addition to strengthening and massaging my foot muscles, and the pain has disappeared completely. I believe these pads are very effective. However, the adhesive is very weak and they don't stick to the insoles at all, so I had to sew them on by hand. That's why I gave a 4 star. After attaching them with thread, they doesn't move around inside the shoe and can be used without any problems, however. Placement of these pads is extremely important. If you don't sew them close to the arch (not at the base of the toes or the metamarsal area), it will put stress on the metamarsal area and cause more pain, so be careful when deciding where to place them. I initially bought these at my local CVS and they cost over $15/pair, so it's much cheaper to buy them on Amazon.

These are small, self-adhesive, free-floating, inserts you are meant to place precisely correctly on your own, inside of your shoe. Trouble is, it is quite literally impossible to do this. You must simply guess correctly the first time, period. They are much smaller than the insole itself. The instructions advise not exposing the adhesive but first trying out where to put the thing to figure out the fit and placement. Which, again, is not possible with your foot in the shoe. I’m not sure who these are for because, due to the impossibility of measuring where to place them, they are useless. An utter waste of time and money. They must all wind up in landfills?

After overdoing treadmill and elliptical machine in my old running shoes, I began having metatarsal pain in my left foot. It got to the point where even wearing cushioned slippers was not enough to prevent the pain. At first I used gel cushions under the ball of my foot, which seemed to help but these things were what really did the trick!! I was skeptical, not really thinking that wearing a cushion behind the area I was experiencing the pain would help... but I was so wrong!! These things allowed me to continue moderate cardio as i healed, and after a couple weeks all pain was gone even without the inserts!! Be sure you place them in the correct position behind the ball of your foot but before your arch. They DO NOT go underneath the ball of your foot like a cushion! They work by spreading your toe bones out and need to go just behind the ball of your foot. I also use arch support inserts and stuck these babies onto the end of them so I was able to wear both my heel/arch support insert and these things at the same time. In the beginning they do take some practice to get into the right position and then getting them to stay while you put your foot into the shoe. I loosened my laces all the way so I could be sure I placed them in the right position. Then I very carefully slid my feet in while holding onto the pad under my foot. I stood and tied my laces. I never had them move around as I wore them, whether I was jogging or doing the elliptical, etc. The first few times they did want to scoot around as I took my shoes on and off so I would reposition it and hold it in place when putting my feet in. But the more I wore them the more they stuck. After a few times, they stayed in place on their own but I can still take them out if I want. Whatever the bottom stuff is, it doesn't feel very sticky, but it works. Love these things!!! Just read the directions and watch a YouTube video if necessary to ensure you wear them correctly and to see tips!

These just don't really work. I bought these for my tennis shoes (actually for playing tennis), and they are difficult to place properly in the shoes. Once placed, they require adjustment, which is where they fail. The adhesive is poor, and you basically get one chance to get it right. Even then, they come loose and you have to readjust them every time you play tennis. While they were in the proper place, they actually DID help prevent my feet feeling sore, but this is not a long-term solution to this issue, and I would not recommend these.

this is an amazing product, works great for my ice hockey skates. I tried every insole out there but they didn't help the pain at the ball of my foot (because I have big arches). Once I tried with these my pain completely went away. you may have to play around with a positioning it shouldn't go directly under the ball of your foot. People in the comments mentioning about it not sticking don't understand that it's not meant to stick on and stay in one spot You're meant to be able to take it on and off or adjust it (The sticky part is just meant to stop it from sliding)

Performs as advertised! Really helps with comfort and keeping slides on your feet.

自分には合わなかった。付けてしばらく経つと痛みがで始めたので装着中止。 個人差で、この商品が合う・合わないがあると思います。

I like it

I’ve been putting up with terrible pain in my feet for months now. I have always had flat feet. Some people only have no longitudinal arch. I also don’t have the transverse arch - never have. And now I’ve developed bunions because of this. I saw these and thought I’d give it a try before having to invest in orthotics. The problem with orthotics is that I work from home and so very seldom wear shoes (I know lucky me-not as much as you’d think). So I thought I’d actually tape these on the bottoms of my feet for around the house. Voila! My feet felt better within days. So now I’ve ordered more to actually stick in my shoes.

These wee pads are a god send for my feet, no pain now!
