8 Pack Metatarsal Pads Women Men, Ball of Foot Cushions

I love these pads. I found that I needed to place them on my feet somewhat precisely for the right balance of comfort and support. But give it twenty or thirty reps and you'll get the hang of it. I did. I was confused about a few points from reading the reviews, so let me tell you what I wish I'd read: these DO stick to the underside of your feet, if you put the sticky side against your skin. Don't worry -- they also DO come off very easily. Yes, they are reusable. No, you don't have to wash them, but you will want to, sooner or later. When you do -- just gentle soap and water -- let them air dry, and they will stick to your feet again just fine. Now, if you sweat a lot through your feet (and don't we all under the right circumstances?) they will lose adhesion to your skin. So, if you plan to sweat, I recommend combining each pad with an arch support band, which will help keep it in place. The left/right indicators seem backwards to me, which makes me wonder if the manufacturer expects you to stick the pads to your shoe rather than your feet. I don't see how that would work, but hey, I could be missing a trick. Me, I just ignore the right/left markings, and do what I need to do to support each of my metatarsal arches. With these under my feet, I can jog -- even sprint -- on my wood floor, barefoot, when before I could barely jog in place at all. I've used them when dancing long periods of time, and they really help my feet hold up to demand. When it comes to my feet, price is not a big issue -- I'll do what I need to do. So the fact that these are not expensive is, yeah, awesome, but that they work so well is the really big payoff.

I got these for metatarsal pain. The felt ones you can buy, worked well for me, but with sandal weather coming, I didn't want obvious pads on my shoes when I remove them in public settings. Plus sometimes it is hard to find the correct placement within a boot so the option of sticking it directly on my foot eleviates that dilemma. And so I decided to try these. They worked quite well. No pain (which was crippling) and they stayed on my feet even with rigorous use doing a construction job. I stuck them directly on my foot and wore hiking boots. Next I will try putting them on the boot and keep them there. I don't think my skin liked the adhesive for 8 hours, but I didn't have a severe reaction, just some soreness of the skin after I removed everything. Don't think that would be a problem for short term use and less rigorous situations. They do what they say. The cushion is just right...any thicker would be obtrusive. They are about the same thickness as the 1/4" felt ones. The thinner, outer rim of the pad is wider than the perimeter of the felt pads. I wear a women's size 6-1/2 wide and it covered almost the entire ball of my foot and then some, so for an average foot, they should protect the area needed. The thick center is large enough to target the metatarsal bone in most feet I believe. And it's so nice and soft....soothing to that vulnerable area. I recommend these. Of course everyone's situation is unique so it may not address every medical condition, but for my foot pain, they really worked! PS....after trying for a couple more days, when I was really working hard with double socks and new hiking boots, my feet sweated and of course, the pads that were directly stuck to my foot slipped out of position. They would stick fine for normal use like going to a lunch wearing sandles, but for construction or hiking all day, it think it is better to stick it to your shoe. I still like them.

These were recommended by my podiatrist as an economic choice for my neuroma. I stick them to my feet so I can change my shoes whenever I want to. They are comfortable and secure, even in the summertime. These pads offered immediate relief from the day I put them on and have helped my feet go back to feeling normal again instead of the sensation of walking on porous concrete all day, which I was suffering with for weeks.

Product was as advertised but I didn't use it because they didn't stay in place in during the Summer. I guess my foot was sweating. Ha!

Not Dr.”scholls” but they do what needs to be done. These help a lot for cheap ,they definitely provide pain relief at the ball of the foot . They are easy to use , I’d suggest leaving the plastic part on half way down (so towards the back /end of it ) so that it’s easier to move around (so up at the tip near your toes it sticks and stays in place that way when you find the right spot gently peel back the film 👍🏽they are reusable I got my first pair from temu months ago and I’ve switched them to different shoes and they’re still sticky and stay in place they don’t wear down either -I hope this helps

These work amazingly for my feet. I wear steel toe shoes for 10 hr shifts and been having toe nerve damageto where I would always leave work early due to pain sometimes after a couple of hours. I had to chance it and order these. I turn them upside down and place all the way to top of shors, now can work the whole ten hour shifts without any pain at all. If only someone could make exact full sizes with this gel without having to cut to fit or any material cover they would always be selling out. Foam or covered gel do absolutely nothing for me and I've spent so much money trying to find one that works and now no need to look any further. These are so soft and the thickness is spot on that I don't even feel I'm wearing those ugly heavy steel toe shoes. Give them a try!

These aren't sticky enough. I wear a metal pad on the bottom of each foot daily to correct a collapsed MTP joint. Compared to other pads these don't stay in place well because they slide out of position. I don't recommend purchasing them.

These work well but not well if you have to stand for 12 hrs straight like I did wearing steel toed shoes, however; they do stay in place.

Purchase price is for 8 pieces and I received only 4. The pads are great otherwise

These pads are amazing. I felt instant relief and was able to wear my shoes all day quite comfortably. I will be ordering some more to keep in all of my shoes

Very helpful for the foot pain I have

No pegan bien, no funcionan

Good
