Ball of Foot Cushions Metatarsal Pads for Women Men Soft Gel Insoles Supports Forefoot Cushioning, Pain Relief Morton's Neuroma Foot Pads (4 Pair)

I injured my foot and figured it would heal eventually, but it kept getting worse. Eventually learned I had metatarsalgia and needed some kind of metatarsal pads. I ordered a few but these were the best. They're made for your shoes but I place them directly on my foot, using the R for my left foot. I'm supposed to be icing my foot but I never do, so it's healing slowly but these pads have made it possible to walk without pain and now, a few months later, the injury is 95% better.Pros: Reusable, great adhesion, non-toxic, perfectly shaped.Cons: 1) They get gross fast, even if you wash them after every use, and at a certain point are too grimy to come fully clean and at that point they lose their adhesion and slip around. But one pack of these lasted me about three months. 2) I wish I could buy a whole pack of just the right foot shape, as I have no use for the left ones. I tried them once when the others were getting worn out, but the shape is wrong for cushioning your foot where it needs to. 3) It's hard at first to figure out where to adhere it to your foot. I still get it wrong some days. You want the beginning of the cushion up against where the ball of your foot begins—you'll feel it if it's wrong.

Correct placement on to shoes can be tricky so I just reverse the right and left and stick them to the bottom of my clean foot. Since they are gel they stick and remove easily. Just clean before using again and save clear plastic it came on to restick a store between uses. I gave them only 4 stars because I use them for Morton’s Neuroma and they would be more effective if the cushion were a bit thicker.

These have been a game changer for days when I’m on my feet for hours. I use them in both work shoes and heels, and they definitely reduce the burning sensation in the ball of my foot. They stay in place better than others I’ve tried and don’t make the shoe feel too tight. I’ve reused them a few times and they hold their shape well. A small comfort item that really makes a difference.

They are comfortable. But after you wear your shoes a few times the adhesive starts to slide around in the shoe.

I can tell a big difference in the pressure I feel in the ball of my foot in my heels, makes it a lot more enjoyable to wear them again. It reminds me of how it feels when you wear platforms, it levels out your foot more than when I don’t have them in. They stick really well, I have no issues with sliding. The only down side is depending on the shoe I’m wearing, it can make my shoe feel a little tighter. I also had to adjust the placement to get it to feel supportive, so definitely play around with that. I originally thought putting it in the arch would help but it didn’t, placing it in the ball of my foot made a world of difference.

This is a consistent reorder item for a marathon runner. It provides excellent cushioning against sensitive callouses.

Not very comfortable l, not sticky but it works. Purchased after a toe injury.

So happy to find these. They are washable, stick to foot or to shoe. If they lose their tack, simply wash them and let them dry. My podiatrist recommended a cushion and gave me felt pads but they had to be taped to my foot and didn't look good. I have been using these for a while not and they do a good job of relieving the pain in my toes and ball of foot.
